[00:02] invest in cryptocurrency overall, then you cannot miss this news at all. I will tell you what happened. Just three-four days ago, Coin DCX co- founders Sumit Gupta and Neeraj Khandelwal were arrested for some questioning
[00:18] as a report was filed at Mumra police station. An FIR was lodged alleging that Coin DCX and its co-founders had defrauded a person of approximately ₹71 lakh.
[00:30] Fraud has been committed. The person who complained is around 4142 years old. He wrote in his complaint that he had met the officials of Coin DCX and he was promised that if he
[00:45] invests in Coin DCX, he will get very high returns and after hearing this, he invested around 71 to 72 lakhs in Coin DCX in a time period of a few months. But he did not get any return. Neither was
[01:01] he able to withdraw his money nor was he able to contact the people who had met him on behalf of Coindix. So if you use CoinDex, your heart will be beating very fast right now wondering what is going on. But once you know the whole
[01:17] truth. After that you will be able to see things very clearly. So what actually happened was that this uncle of ours, who is educated and aged 41-42, had never met any official of Coindix or the co-founder. These were received from scammers
[01:34] claiming to be Coindix officials. He had created a fake website exactly like Coindix. But its domain was not coindx.com. While coin was something like dcx pro. Those who filed this complaint are
[01:49] completely convinced that I am transacting within Coin DCX only. And in such a mistake, he went on making transactions on a website like Coin DCX Pro. And the fraudsters who met the people posing as DCX Coin
[02:05] also gave some cash to those people, which in total amounted to around ₹71 lakh. But in reality, coin DCX is coin DCX.com and not coin DCX. It is Pro
[02:18] and the latest news right now is that Sumit Gupta and Neeraj Khandelwal, both the co-founders of Coin DCX, have got bail in which it is clearly written that there is no prima facie i.e. there is no solid evidence that the
[02:34] founders and co-founders of Coin DCX ever met the person who has made this complaint.
