Ahmedabad : A 36-year-old medicine trader from Rajasthan has approached City Crime Branch, alleging that he was cheated of Rs 47.8 lakh in a cryptocurrency investment scheme after being promised USDT in return for his investment. The next day, he was allegedly asked to arrange Rs 23.9 lakh in exchange for 25,000 USDT. He claimed that the corresponding 25,000 USDT was subsequently reflected in his crypto wallet. Encouraged by the earlier transactions, the trader allegedly transferred another Rs 47.8 lakh through an angadia firm later in May.
When he contacted the person who had facilitated the investment, he was allegedly told that there was a problem with the crypto wallet and that the issue would be resolved within a day or two. The complainant arranged the funds through an angadia firm in Mumbai, from where the money was transferred to a person in Ahmedabad.

After failing to recover the money, the trader on Thursday lodged a complaint with City Crime Branch against three persons residing in Isanpur, Gandhinagar and Naranpura, alleging that they had cheated him in the cryptocurrency investment deal.
