    In between for some time if i am not mistaken... Hindustan govt / RBI banned trading in crypto currency.., if so, ..then it is incumbent upon the complainant to first establish the locus standi to fight the case..., and also to establish the legitimacy of the money trail & its movement. Once the transaction sanctity is ingrained... the complainant could succeed.

    This is like ," baa huli nannannu thinnu".... Avarice is greater than greed they say.... One must know the limits of possibilities and the limit how much he can loose in anything he does.... He not only lost his money but also that of his relatives and friends... Trust is a double edged sword.... Crypto has several renowned platforms like Binance where one can invest in real cryptos.... But one must not put more than 3% of his networth at any given time and withdraw capital as soon as possible... This is a clean cheating job.... Kottava kodangi... eeskondava Eerbhadra....
