Simpy Bhardwaj, a director of Singapore-based company Variabletech Pvt Ltd, was arrested for allegedly being involved in a Rs 6,606 crore cryptocurrency scam. The company lured investors with promises of high returns in bitcoins, claiming to have a mining farm in China. Bharadwaj and her co-conspirators allegedly misled investors by guaranteeing 10% returns per Bitcoin for 18 months. They also convinced people to purchase cloud mining space through the website Gainbitcoin.com. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) believes that Bharadwaj concealed how the funds collected from investors were used.
