🇷🇺 Russia's "Crypto Queen" Faces $22 Million Fraud Charges, Potential Links to Military Actions in Ukraine! 🚨
Russia's "Crypto Queen", also known as Bitmama's Valeria Fedyakina, is now in serious trouble. She is accused of defrauding investors of up to $22 million, and it is said that this money was used to support military actions in Ukraine, complicating her situation further.
The 24-year-old internet celebrity is under investigation and has been arrested due to numerous complaints, with some victims claiming to have lost huge sums, one of whom alleges to have been defrauded of $74 million. However, the officially confirmed cases show that at least four victims suffered losses exceeding $22 million.
Investigators claim that Fedyakina pretended to be a cryptocurrency expert, claiming to have offices in multiple cities around the world, and convinced investors to give her money, promising high returns from investments in cryptocurrency businesses. She also promised a 1% return on funds and that they would be converted into cryptocurrency.
But things are not that simple; investigations revealed that she used a large sum of money to support the Ukrainian military, claiming it was to counter Russian aggression. Despite facing serious charges, her defense team denies the fraud allegations, claiming she is a victim of a larger conspiracy.
Before her arrest, Fedyakina attempted to flee to the UAE unsuccessfully. However, after news about her being six months pregnant emerged, it attracted media attention, and authorities had to temporarily impose a more lenient house arrest on her. Nevertheless, shortly after giving birth, she was sent back to detention.
The case is currently being tried, and if convicted, she may face 10 years in prison. Meanwhile, prosecutors are expected to formally charge her in November with aiding illegal cryptocurrency transactions and orchestrating multiple fraud cases.
In summary, the Bitmama case serves as a reminder that behind the glamor of cryptocurrency, risks and challenges lurk. As the case progresses, it may become a turning point for the country to strengthen regulations and protect investors. In the end, let's look forward to a safer and more transparent financial future.
💬 What do you think about this case of the "Crypto Queen"? Is she a fraudster, or is she, as her defense team claims, a victim of a larger conspiracy?
