Mumbai Student's $457K Crypto Scam Reveals Digital Money Laundering
📰 What Happened
Shaurya Singh, a 23-year-old computer student from Nagpur, was denied bail after being arrested on July 13 for involvement in a $457,000 cryptocurrency fraud scheme. The CBI court cited increasing cybercrime rates as justification for continued custody. Singh allegedly aided key suspect Sudhir Palande using sophisticated digital payment technologies and mule accounts for money laundering.
