[India Arrests Two Suspects in BitConnect Scam Case, Involving Kidnapping and Bitcoin Extortion] According to India Today, the Indian Enforcement Directorate has arrested two individuals connected to the BitConnect cryptocurrency scam, a case involving global fraud, kidnapping, and extortion, with amounts reaching thousands of bitcoins and tens of millions of rupees in cash. The arrested suspects, Nikunj Pravinbhai Bhatt and Sanjay Kotadia, are accused of participating in a kidnapping and extortion case where the victim was forced to hand over 2,254 bitcoins, 11,000 litecoins, and approximately 1.45 billion rupees in cash. Some of the extorted bitcoins were converted into ETH and USDT and transferred through multiple wallet layers. The Indian Enforcement Directorate has frozen and seized assets worth approximately 1.9 billion rupees, including crypto assets, stocks, and cash. To date, the total value of assets seized or frozen in this case amounts to approximately 217 billion rupees. The investigation is still ongoing. The Indian Enforcement Directorate stated that BitConnect marketed itself as a high-return investment platform, claiming that its self-developed volatility trading bot could generate returns of up to 40% per month. The agency noted that these claims were entirely fabricated, designed to create a false illusion of growth, including publishing a fake daily return rate of about 1% on its website.
