Indian Authorities Expose Mastermind Behind $280 Million OctaFX Ponzi Scheme
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) in India has seized over $280 million and arrested the Spanish mastermind behind the OctaFX Ponzi scheme. Investigations reveal the platform laundered more than $96 million through fake companies and international bank accounts.
OctaFX lured thousands of Indian investors with promises of high returns from trading forex, commodities, and cryptocurrencies. Instead, investors faced significant losses as the scheme collapsed. The suspect, a Spanish national, was apprehended in Spain under India's anti-money laundering laws.
