๐ข A Kazakhstani man earned 2 billion tenge on cryptocurrency, but the state took the money ๐ฐ๐ฐ
For illegal cryptocurrency transactions, 1.9 billion tenge was confiscated from the man. The verdict against the 28-year-old man entered into legal force on July 14.
According to the prosecutorโs office, from 2020 to 2024, without a license, he conducted purchase and sale deals of digital assets in P2P format on the Binance platform. Payments were made using bank accounts registered in his name and those of relatives and others.
According to the investigation, the money earned was then placed in deposits at second-tier banks, which became one of the grounds for accusing him of money laundering of proceeds obtained through criminal means.
๐ฌ โBy the claim of the regional prosecutorโs office, the court recovered for the state budget an amount of illegal income exceeding 1.9 billion tenge. In addition, funds in the amount of 13.4 million tenge were confiscated, along with two passenger cars and digital assets totaling USD 7.9 thousand,โ the Kostanay regional prosecutorโs office reported.
In addition to recovering illegal income, the court sentenced the man to two years in prison. After his release, he is also prohibited for 7 years from engaging in activities related to cryptocurrency.
