The Norwegian authorities were accused of provoking thousands of investors in the cryptocurrency investment system to four men and laundering the wrong profits through the account of the law firm.
In a February 16 statement on Norwegian economic and environmental crimes investigations and prosecution, more than 900 million Norwegian croners ($ 80 million) were collected from victims around the world.
Økokrim’s prosecutor Joakim Ziesler Berge said, “We think this is a big and extensive fraud.
“We are talking about many victims who have lost money in many countries and many victims with the accused.”
Økokrim had a hard time thinking that the victims were receiving a wide range of investments and interests of a wide range of businesses that were invested in gas, mining and real estate.
The alleged system was promised to convene investors through presentations at major events around the world to include a promising investment package including the company’s cryptocurrency and stocks.
Økokrim argued that this system did not make a “investment” beyond these deposits, and that existing investors recruited new investors from friends and acquaintances.
The Norwegian authorities also insisted that more than 700 million Norwegian croners ($ 66 million) were washed through the accounts of local law firms and other accounts of various Asian companies.

Økokrim said, “Norway and internationally use customer accounts and company structures, we have complicated the discovery of what happened to money.
NRK (Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation) reported on February 17th that four charges in their 50s, 60s and 70s, which operated the system between March 17 and November 2018, were all Norwegian men.
Three men were accused of helping to raise money, and fourth for contributing to money laundering.

Meanwhile, lawyer Ole Petter Drevland, a lawyer who defends one of the other men, said his client denied criminal responsibility in the case. Information for a lawyer who acts on behalf of the other two defendants could not be used immediately.
The case is scheduled for the Oslo District Court in September and is expected to run for more than 60 days.
