Pakistan’s Investigation Agency Contacts Binance About $100M Scam
Pakistan's Investigation Agency Calls Binance About $100M Scam
Pakistan's Federal Investigation Agency, (FIA) stated that it is interested in talking to Binance to help with an investigation into a possible scam that has claimed to have cost many thousand investors more than $100 millions.
The Cyber Crime unit of the FIA sent a note to Binance Holdings Ltd., Binance.US, and ordered Humza Khan to attend. "To explain his position on fraudulent online investment mobile apps with Binance," Imran Riaz (head of the unit) tweeted on Jan 7.
11 mobile apps, 26 wallets and several hundred investors were involved in the suspected scam. Riaz posted a statement that said "people from all parts of Pakistan" had contacted the agency to inform them that their apps had "stopped operating for a time." This was in order to defraud "Pakistani peoples of billions of rupees."
Binance stated in a tweet that "We are working alongside the Federal Investigation Agency for these issues."
Investors were required to register on Binance to transfer money to their mobile applications. The anonymous owner of the application, as well as the Telegram group admins, set up a Telegram group where experts gave signals on the rise and fall Bitcoin. The apps crashed once significant capital had been created and thousands of people lost their money.
The reported investment range was $100-$80,000, with an average of $2,000 per individual. This brought the total amount of this suspected scam to almost $100 million. The apps were identified at MCX (HFC, HTFOX), FXCOPY and OKIMINI.
All apps-related bank accounts have been blocked. Telegram was contacted. Influencers of these apps are receiving legal notices. Binance has been asked for details of 26 wallets. All about Price per Head Betting
