ED Freezes 94 Bank Accounts Worth ₹10.24 Cr (~$1.1M) in HPZ Crypto Token Scam


India's Enforcement Directorate just attached 94 bank accounts linked to the massive HPZ Token fraud, bringing total seizures to over ₹662 Crore (~$71.7M).
Here's What You Need To Know:
🔹 HPZ Token promised investors ₹4,000/day ($43) returns on a ₹57,000 ($617) investment, classic Ponzi red flags
🔹 Total scam size estimated at ₹2,200 Crore (~$238M) across 20 Indian states
🔹 Funds were routed through mule accounts, shell companies & payment gateways like PayU, Razorpay & Easebuzz
🔹 Alleged mastermind: Bhupesh Arora, with links to Chinese nationals who tried moving funds offshore
🔹 ED has been tracking this case since 2021 under PMLA
Key Takeaway for Crypto Investors:
If someone promises guaranteed daily returns through a crypto app, it's a scam. No legitimate crypto investment guarantees fixed returns. Always verify the project, team, and regulatory status before investing a single rupee.
Cases like HPZ Token are exactly why authorities push for stricter KYC, AML compliance, and investor protection frameworks.
Stay safe. Stay informed.
