Taking into account the position of the prosecutor's office of the Troitsky and Novomoskovsky administrative districts, the court remanded in custody a 35-year-old man accused of fraud on a particularly large scale.

The accused fraudulently stole digital currency from a Muscovite - more than 670 thousand USDT.

The injured man testified that he met the accused at one of the business meetings. Then the person involved reported that he was engaged in raising funds for an NFT business project, indicating that his friend , a well-known artist, creates NFT paintings, places them on various resources, after which their price increases and then you can make a profit.

The victim was interested in this offer, and the attacker added it to the messenger chat, where information about transactions was posted.

The attacker reported in the chat about a transaction with a refund period of 18 days for a large amount, part of which was transferred to him by the victim in cryptocurrency.

In May 2023, the man again transferred 1.1 million rubles to the attacker, after which the person involved stopped contacting. Subsequently, the victim realized that there were no collections of NFT images and turned to law enforcement agencies.

Under the coordinating role of the district Prosecutor's Office, all the circumstances of the criminal activity of the person involved are established, and his involvement in the commission of similar acts is checked.
