Bhubaneswar: The BOI (Bureau Of Immigration), on request of EOW Odisha, issued LOC against David Gez (32), a Hungarian national, who is the head of mega Crypto-Ponzi scam namely STA Token.
He entered with tourist Visa into India for two times in 2022-23 and stayed here for about 25 days travelling various places like Odisha, Goa, Punjab, Jharkhand and Delhi, the EOW informed.
On first time, he had travelled to India via USA and Turkey and second time via Poland.
In Odisha, he travelled to Bhubaneswar and Bhadrak. He has deleted his Instagram account after registration of this case. However his Indian associates are still issuing Youtube Videos using his AI generated picture and voice, the EOW further stated.
“He was issued with tourist Visa but indulged in business/Promotion activity is not allowed as per rule of Ministry Of External affairs. EOW would be reporting this fact to MEA for necessary action in addition to the legal action in the current case.
The involvement of second foreigner, a Dutch national, in this scam is under scrutiny.”
Some topline members of this scam are still indulging in the propaganda (through YouTube, Whatsapp Group etc.) and continuing
adding innocent investors below their chain. Their activities are under surveillance and action will be taken against them.
This refers to an EOW case under Sections 420/467/468/471/120-B of IPC and 4/5/6 of PCMS Act.
