Mars Finance News, according to The Crypto Times, reports that the Himachal Pradesh High Court in India has rejected Abhishek Sharma’s bail application. Sharma is one of the key promoters of a large-scale cryptocurrency MLM scam, which allegedly defrauded over 80k investors across India, with estimated losses of 500 million rupees, and a total investment pool of about 2 billion rupees. The report states that the scam involved multiple fake crypto platforms such as Korvio, Voscrow, DGT, Hypenext, and A-Global, where investors were promised double returns. The project initially paid small profits to attract more participants, but all payments suddenly stopped from December 25, 2021, after which promoters directed users to other platforms, ultimately ceasing to pay any returns. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) previously conducted searches at 8 locations in Himachal Pradesh and Punjab and froze approximately 12 million rupees in lockers and bank deposits. Investigators say that the funds from the case were laundered through real estate developers, shell companies, and family bank accounts, with some senior suspects having fled to Dubai.
