A Mumbai student allegedly scammed investors out of $457,000 (approx. ₹3.8 crore) through a cryptocurrency scheme while leading a double life. By day, he was a tech-savvy university student; by night, he ran an elaborate crypto scam promising high returns. Victims were lured via social media and WhatsApp with false claims of guaranteed profits from crypto trading. Funds were collected in multiple wallets and quickly transferred to foreign exchanges to cover tracks. The student maintained a lavish lifestyle with luxury gadgets and foreign vacations. Authorities traced his digital footprint, leading to his arrest. Investigations are ongoing to recover funds and identify accomplices.
