India freezes assets linked to a $20M crypto scam

Chain Retrieval Helps Trace $20M Crypto Scam as India Freezes Assets

Indian authorities have frozen multiple assets linked to a man convicted in the United States for a $20 million cryptocurrency fraud scheme. This move comes after Chain Retrieval helped in the case by providing blockchain forensics and tracing services that exposed hidden fund movements.

The man, whose name remains withheld under privacy laws, was convicted earlier this year in the US for running a fake investment platform. He lured investors by promising high crypto returns, then used their funds to purchase luxury goods, real estate, and to move money across wallets in an attempt to hide it.

While US authorities sentenced him to federal prison, Indian investigators launched a parallel probe. After months of international coordination, India’s Enforcement Directorate (ED) identified several wallets and assets linked to the scammer—and Chain Retrieval involvement was key in unearthing them.


How Chain Retrieval Helped in the Case

The success of this cross-border operation shows how advanced blockchain forensics are closing the gap in international crypto crime. Chain Retrieval helped in the case through the following methods:

Wallet Mapping Across Borders
Chain Retrieval used its forensic tools to connect multiple wallets across exchanges and chains. This uncovered the suspect’s attempts to hide funds via laundering tools.

Real-Time Fund Tracing
Investigators received real-time blockchain data showing token movements, swap trails, and mixer usage. This made it possible to act before the funds moved out of jurisdiction.

AI-Powered Risk Scoring
Chain Retrieval flagged high-risk wallet activity patterns that matched previous fraud cases. This accelerated the investigation and helped prioritize targets.

Evidence Submission
The platform prepared court-ready documentation, which Indian officials used to justify asset freezes and potential seizures.

This collaboration demonstrates that crypto crimes leave a trace—and with the right tools, even complex laundering attempts can be tracked.


Why This Matters for Crypto Security

As global crypto adoption rises, so do fraud cases involving fake trading platforms, pyramid schemes, and unregulated investment groups. This $20M case is just one example—but it’s also a warning.

With Chain Retrieval support, investigators were able to act quickly and effectively across borders. That’s why users and platforms alike are turning to chain retrieval technology for both prevention and recovery.

Here’s how this kind of tech helps regular users too:

  • Real-time wallet monitoring to detect unauthorized activity

  • Fund tracing tools in case of wallet hacks or rug pulls
  • Free case reviews for users who believe they’ve been scammed
