Raj Kundra Charged Over 285 Bitcoin Linked to Crypto Scam

by

In a twist worthy of a prime-time drama, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has hurled a chargesheet at Raj Kundra, the businessman who has somehow managed to entangle himself in a crypto web worth ₹150 crore. This, of course, involves a modest 285 Bitcoins-because, naturally, one doesn’t dabble in the world of digital currencies with anything less than a few hundred. Oh, and did we mention they’re tied to the infamous Ponzi scheme of the late Amit Bhardwaj? A mere coincidence, no doubt.

Now, according to the ED, Kundra wasn’t just holding these digital treasures as some sort of collector’s item; no, he was allegedly the *beneficial* owner. And here we thought it was only in Monopoly that players got to be “banker” without ever touching any actual money. But it doesn’t stop there-Kundra is accused of playing the classic game of “hide and seek” with crucial evidence, failing to surrender the Bitcoins like a responsible adult, and *oh*-attempting to pull off a financial sleight of hand with his wife, the glamorous Shilpa Shetty, in what can only be described as a creative way of laundering funds. Because nothing says “legitimate business” like a financial arrangement with your spouse.

For those who were hoping for a simple “I’m innocent” defense, Kundra claimed he was merely a “mediator” in all of this. Well, the ED didn’t buy it, and quite frankly, we don’t blame them. “Mediator” is a great excuse for everything from dodging dinner invitations to cryptocurrency scandals. But, as it turns out, not even that excuse could save him. Shocking, isn’t it?
