The man's 42-year-old wife also participated in illegal activities. The attackers, under the pretext of making a profit from placing cryptocurrencies on exchange platforms on the Internet, involved citizens to participate in the social program of the cooperative, and then received money from citizens in exchange for a fictitious cryptocurrency.
