ED Arrests Associate in Rs 500-Crore Korvio Coin Cryptocurrency Fraud Case
India's Enforcement Directorate (ED) arrested Atul Sood, a close associate of Subhash Sharma, linked to a cryptocurrency fraud involving the fictitious Korvio Coin. The scam, uncovered in Himachal Pradesh, reportedly affected over 2.48 lakh users with estimated losses around Rs 500 crore. Searches in Chandigarh, Mohali, and Zirakpur led to the seizure of Rs 72 lakh and incriminating documents. Sood was remanded to ED custody until November 5, 2026, as investigations continue into the alleged Ponzi scheme and related financial transactions.
