The Thodex cryptocurrency exchange fraud case in Turkey continued to evolve as new details emerged in the ongoing investigation. A second investigation is underway against 21 suspects, together with Faruk Fatih Özer, Thodex’s CEO. According to a recent report by the Financial Crimes Investigation Board (MASAK), the total loss of victims in the second Thodex investigation was approximately 95 million liras. Here are the details…
The second leg of the Thodex hit: The hit is 95 million lira
cryptocoin.com As we have also reported, the Thodex case has drawn great attention due to its scale in which thousands of victims have been affected. In the first case, it was reported that 2,027 victims suffered a loss of 257 million lira. The MASAK report reveals that the total emphasis on the Thodex platform was recorded as 356 million liras. The second investigation was initiated upon the complaint of other victims, who applied to the prosecutor’s office and stated that they had suffered damage as well. In the second investigation, 582 victims reported that they could not receive the money they deposited from the system.
The report also reveals that some victims did not deposit money into the system, but their money was entered into the system in various ways. For example, a victim saw a container ad on Facebook and sent a deposit of 800 lira to the person he contacted to buy it for 9 thousand liras, but could not reach the people after sending the money. Later, it was determined that the money sent to the person was transferred to Papara and then to Thodex. It turned out that a victim sent 2 thousand 500 liras to the owner of the phone to buy a second-hand phone, but later learned that the money was transferred to the system when the phone did not come.
Özer tries to take advantage of “effective regret”
The report also revealed that Özer, through his lawyer, compensated some victims in order to benefit from effective remorse. After Özer compensated some victims and some victims reached a compromise, some victims abandoned their complaints. As the investigation progressed, it was learned that after the MASAK report requested by the prosecutor’s office to determine the damage in terms of 582 victims, a third Thodex investigation was launched after hundreds of new victims emerged.
Özer, who fled Turkey after the fraud was exposed in 2021, was detained in Albania. It was decided to extradite Özer, who is still held in Albania, to Turkey. The Prosecutor’s Office is expected to prepare an indictment and send it to the Istanbul Anatolian 9th High Criminal Court, requesting that it be combined with the ongoing case.
As a result, Thodex cryptocurrency exchange fraud in our country continues to evolve with the emergence of a new investigation. Faruk Fatih Özer, CEO of Thodex, was identified as the main perpetrator of the fraud, which resulted in 582 victims losing millions of lira. The MASAK report revealed that the total loss of victims in the second investigation was approximately 95 million liras. Some victims did not deposit money into the system, but their money was allowed to enter the system in various ways.
