Pakistani social media influencer Saud ur Rehman ("Ducky Bhai") has been apprehended by authorities on serious financial fraud charges. The central allegation is that he leveraged his influence to promote the Binomo application, which masqueraded as a legitimate investment platform but was, in fact, an unregulated gambling scheme. His role allegedly extended to being an unauthorized country manager for the entity.
A critical element of the scheme was the use of cryptocurrency for deposits and withdrawals, a method that obscured illegal activity and made fund recovery for victims nearly impossible. Legal action is now proceeding under cybercrime and penal codes, with investigations continuing into potential accomplices. Authorities emphasize that such operations severely damage public trust in legitimate digital finance.
