Raj Kundra is facing serious allegations in a crypto scam case involving the purchase of cryptocurrency and is accused of defrauding people of a staggering amount of Rs. 6,600 Crore through bitcoins. The ED has alleged that Kundra received 285 Bitcoins, valued at over Rs. 150 Crore, from Amit Bharadwaj and was supposedly the mastermind behind a Bitcoin mining farm in Ukraine.
Both the Maharashtra and Delhi police have registered FIRs related to money laundering in connection to the case surrounding Raj Kundra. This indicates the severity of the situation and the legal troubles that Kundra may be facing in the near future.
While Raj Kundra’s involvement in illegal financial activities is being thoroughly investigated, the role of Shilpa Shetty in the cryptocurrency scam case remains unclear as authorities have not disclosed specific details regarding her part in the matter.

The attachment of his assets, including the substantial amount of bitcoins, marks a significant development in the ongoing investigation.
Moreover, Raj Kundra’s past involvement in a 2018 cryptocurrency scam case, where he was accused of conducting illicit business transactions using bitcoin, further accentuates the gravity of the current situation.
