The agency clarified that the detainee may be involved in a large-scale scam related to the rug pull of the ZKasino project. Numerous complaints led to an investigation into the case, which began on April 25. During the arrest, law enforcement agencies confiscated digital assets, real estate, and a luxury car worth $12.2 million. The department did not rule out new arrests in this case.
One of the purported investors, Big Brain, later denied its participation in the funding round. In turn, the MEXC platform stated that it was a victim of the incident.
