Karnataka High Court Grants Bail to Hackers in Cryptocurrency Money Laundering Case
The Karnataka High Court granted conditional bail to hackers Srikrishna Ramesh (Sriki) and Robin Khandelwal in a money laundering case linked to a cryptocurrency scam. The court noted the trial's slow progress due to an extensive chargesheet and multiple witnesses. It rejected the Enforcement Directorate's concerns about misuse of bail or shifting of alleged crime proceeds, citing the petitioners' prior cooperation and lack of misuse. Bail conditions include personal bonds, regular court appearances, and restrictions on travel and witness tampering.
