Indian law enforcement agencies have charged Chirag Tomar in connection with a $20 million Coinbase spoofing scam.

According to Huoxun Finance, the Indian Enforcement Agency (IEA) has filed an indictment with the PMLA Special Court in Dwarka, New Delhi, formally charging Chirag Tomar and his associates with a cryptocurrency phishing scam involving approximately $20 million. Investigations revealed that the group used SEO hijacking and phishing websites resembling "Coinbase Pro" to trick users into entering their account information and completing 2FA verification before transferring their cryptocurrency assets. The funds were split into thousands of wallets and laundered through multiple layers of P2P transactions and local platforms. This case is in cooperation with US federal law enforcement. Tomar had previously been arrested by the FBI and sentenced to 60 months in prison for conspiracy to commit wire fraud. The IEA obtained evidence through international judicial cooperation, freezing 129 bank accounts and approximately 645.5 million rupees in assets, and is currently pursuing the recovery and confiscation of remaining funds and real estate.
