According to France's *Le Monde*, a French woman named Svetlana A. has been formally investigated and detained on charges of organized fraud, aggravated tax fraud, money laundering, and involvement in criminal gang activities. French judicial authorities suspect that she, along with her husband, Verasity founder Robert H., carried out a scam by manipulating cryptocurrency prices and may have used the proceeds to purchase real estate in Dubai. In the spring of 2021, $VRA surged 65x in about two and a half months before crashing. *Le Monde*'s investigation revealed that in 2022 alone, the woman spent over €50 million to buy approximately 100 apartments and 3 villas in Dubai. The accused denies any wrongdoing, claiming the funds used for the purchases were legitimate. https://www.(wublock123.com)/news/french-woman-charged-vra-token-scam-dubai-property-purchases-69084
