CBI conducts massive raids in $800 million crypto scam case
India’s Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has announced a massive operation covering over 60 locations in major cities. The raids were conducted as part of an investigation into the GainBitcoin cryptocurrency scheme, which left investors with $800 million in losses.
GainBitcoin was founded in 2015 by Amit and Ajay Bhardwaj through Variabletech Pte. The scheme offered cloud mining contracts with a monthly return of 10% in Bitcoin. After the project collapsed in 2017, the payouts were replaced with the MCAP cryptocurrency, which turned out to be almost worthless, leading to huge losses for investors.
During the raids, the CBI seized crypto wallets, email correspondence, and cloud data that will help track illegal transfers, including international transactions. Law enforcement officials said the investigation is part of a broader campaign by Indian authorities to control the crypto market.

El Salvador President: The Country Will Never Stop Buying Bitcoin
El Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele said the country will continue to accumulate bitcoins despite pressure from the International Monetary Fund (IMF). He stressed that the government does not intend to abandon its strategy even if it faces restrictions from global financial institutions.
According to him, the initial conditions of the $1.4 billion IMF loan included a reduction in several bitcoin initiatives, including voluntary payments in cryptocurrency and mandatory payment of taxes in dollars. However, new requirements regarding a ban on mining, limiting the issuance of debt obligations, and ending government purchases of bitcoin will not be implemented.
Bukele also said that over the past month, El Salvador has increased its reserves by 46 BTC ($3.9 million), bringing the total amount of savings to 6,101 BTC ($527 million).
