Mumbai, Sep 27: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Friday filed a chargesheet against businessman Raj Kundra in connection with a multi-crore bitcoin scam, alleging that he remains in possession of 285 Bitcoins worth over Rs 150.47 crore.
According to the chargesheet filed before a special PMLA court, Kundra received the Bitcoins from late crypto-scam mastermind Amit Bhardwaj for setting up a mining farm in Ukraine. The deal never materialised, yet Kundra allegedly retained the cryptocurrency, which the agency termed “proceeds of crime.”
ED officials said Kundra was not just a mediator, as he claimed, but an owner and beneficiary of the transactions. The agreement, titled Term Sheet, was signed between Kundra and Mahendra Bhardwaj, father of Amit Bhar
