A 24-year-old Dutch law student from Hengelo was arrested for orchestrating a cryptocurrency scam that defrauded around 300 investors of €1.5–€4.5 million ($1.6–$4.6 million). Promising high returns, he solicited a minimum of €5,000 per investor, taking 50% of profits while running a pyramid scheme. New funds were used to pay earlier investors, creating a false sense of profitability. After the scheme collapsed, he went into hiding but later turned himself in, claiming harassment from victims. Following further evidence presented by a victims' foundation, he was arrested. The case underscores the importance of due diligence in cryptocurrency investments.
