  • Omega Pro co-founder Andreas Šakac has been arrested in Türkiye.
  • Authorities tracked $160 million worth of cryptocurrency transactions and seized computers and cold wallets.
  • One investor in the Netherlands reported losing $7 million, while more than 3,000 people lost $103 million in the scam.

OmegaPro co-founder Andreas Szakacs, who was arrested in Turkey, is facing serious charges for allegedly orchestrating a massive Ponzi scheme.

Omega Pro, a company that claimed to invest in cryptocurrencies and forex, is said to have defrauded investors of a whopping $4 billion before its collapse in late 2022, which coincided with the infamous collapse of the FTX exchange.

Recover 32 computers and cold wallets

Szakacs, who took the name Emre Avci after acquiring Turkish citizenship, was arrested by Turkish authorities following a significant investigation into OmegaPro’s activities. He was arrested after a series of raids across Istanbul were launched following an anonymous tip.

Authorities seized computers and 32 cold wallets linked to Shakachi, but he reportedly failed to provide the necessary access codes to these digital assets.

Investigators traced $160 million worth of cryptocurrency transactions to his business.

Impact of OmegaPro’s Alleged Fraud

Allegations about Omega Pro surfaced earlier this year when regulators in several countries, including France, Belgium, Spain and Argentina, issued warnings about the company’s fraudulent practices.

Shakachi vehemently denied the accusations, insisting his role was limited to finance and marketing, not fraud.

However, the scale of the alleged fraud has led to widespread scrutiny and regulatory reevaluation of the global cryptocurrency sector.

Abdel Ghaffar Mohaeghe, a Dutch national who lost $7 million in the scam, claims he represented more than 3,000 investors who collectively lost more than $103 million.

The wide network of victims highlights the far-reaching impact of OmegaPro’s fraudulent activities and the urgent need for stronger regulatory measures to protect investors in the cryptocurrency market.

The incident has sparked a global reevaluation of cryptocurrency regulation, with countries considering new legislation to increase transparency and accountability within the cryptocurrency sector.

As the investigation continues and more details emerge, the fallout from this incident could significantly change the landscape of financial technology and investor protection.

Turkey in particular is working to establish a comprehensive regulatory framework to prevent similar fraud incidents in the future.
