Financial Intelligence Unit India (FIU IND) issues compliance Show Cause Notices to nine offshore Virtual Digital Assets Service Providers (#VDA SPs)
FIU-IND writes to Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology to block URLs of the nine entities operating illegally without complying with the provisions of #PMLAct in India
Virtual Digital Assets Service Providers (VDA SPs) were brought into the ambit of Anti Money Laundering/Counter Financing of Terrorism (AML- CFT) framework under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PML) Act, 2002 in March 2023.
As part of compliance action against the offshore entities, Financial Intelligence Unit India (FIU IND) has issued compliance Show Cause Notices to following 9 offshore Virtual Digital Assets Service Providers (VDA SPs) under Section 13 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002 (PMLA).
🇮🇳Indian exchange owners are celebrating the government's move to block foreign exchange URLs if they do not comply.
Indeed, we all want exchanges to be fully regulated, as this will help make this #Web3 space better.
But along with that, we also want Indian exchange founders to raise their voices more against the 30% tax and 1% TDS, as this is the main reason people are flocking to foreign exchanges.
In crypto, we can't move forward by kicking others out of the business, as it can harm a lot of people.
I also want the Indian #Crypto community to share their opinions on this in the comments section
FIU issues notice to Binance, 8 other offshore crypto platforms, writes to Meity for blocking of URLS
The Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) under the Finance Ministry has issued show cause notices to nine offshore cryptocurrency and virtual digital assets platforms, like Binance and Kucoin, for non-compliance with anti-money laundering law.

According to Bloomberg, India is moving to block local access to the websites of overseas crypto exchanges like Binance.

$27,000,000 in USDT Stolen by Hackers From Hot Wallet Connected to Binance Deployer: On-Chain Data
Hackers reportedly stole more than $27 million worth of the top stablecoin USDTfrom a Binance hot wallet over the weekend.
The on-chain researcher pseudonymously known as ZachXBT says that the victim's address was connected to a Binance deployer wallet, which is used to generate smart contracts.
The stolen USDT was quickly swapped for Ethereum (ETH) and then transferred to instant exchanges like FixedFloat or ChangeNow, according to the on-chain sleuth. ZachXBT says the hackers also bridged to Bitcoin (BTC) via the decentralized cross-chain liquidity protocol THORChain (RUNE).
"They will probably deposit the funds to a mixer or send them to a sketchy service next. To take large sums off-chain, OTCs (over-the-counter) [trades] are common (will be later on after funds have been laundered)."
The impacted #Binance wallet was createdin late 2021, according to the #ETH-tracking website Etherscan. The wallet received the 27 million #USDT. T from two Binance addresses earlier this month.
#USDT. is the top stablecoin by market cap. It's issued by Tether and aims to maintain a 1:1 peg to the US dollar.
Just last week, a hacker exploited the crypto exchange Poloniex for $125 million worth of crypto, including $56 million worth of ETH, $48 million worth of Tron (TRX) and $18 million worth of BTC.#BTC$BTC

The Himachal Pradesh scam, which targeted approximately 100,000 victims, is under continuous investigation. Reports suggest that the alleged mastermind, Subhash Sharma, remains elusive.
The unraveling saga involves eight recent arrests, shedding light on a multi-crore crypto scam that affected a diverse group, including 5,000 government officials and 1,000 police personnel. Shockingly, the legitimacy of the scam was amplified as more than 1,000 cops were inadvertently involved.
Modus Operandi:
Initiating in 2018, fraudsters enticed victims with investment plans tied to a local cryptocurrency, Korvio Coin (KRO coins). The scam expanded to include various cryptocurrencies through fake websites, with instances of rug pulls leaving investors in the lurch.
Compromised Legitimacy:
The involvement of police personnel lent an unprecedented air of legitimacy to the scam. Over 1,000 cops became unwitting participants, with some reaping profits, others falling victim, and a few volunteering as promoters.
Investigation Progress:
With 56 complaints filed over the past two years, a thorough investigation led by a Special Investigation Team (SIT) and multiple agencies, including the Enforcement Directorate, has uncovered startling details. Over 250,000 identification cards linked to suspects were discovered in late October.
Profits and Consequences:
More than 100 individuals reportedly earned profits of $240,000 each, while another 200 made around $120,000 each. The Enforcement Directorate is intensifying its probe, with 18 arrests made to date, and a relentless pursuit of the alleged kingpin, Subhash Sharma.
Involvement of Women Agents:
The Enforcement Directorate is also scrutinizing the role of five women suspected of working as agents or promoters for Sharma, adding another layer to this complex web.
