The case relates to Aamir Khan, s/o Nesar Ahmed Khan, who launched a mobile gaming app called E-nuggets, which was “designed for the purpose of deceiving the public”, the ED explained.

The ED’s official Twitter account tweeted explaining that the company checked the crypto wallet and user ID on the cryptocurrency exchange Binance, which resulted in 150.22 BTC being frozen.

What ED explains:

It was revealed during the investigation that many accounts (more than 300) were used to withdraw money. This money is also used to buy cryptocurrencies. The authority explained that it lost several cryptocurrencies in the E-nuggets case. Last month, the ED said it had withdrawn 85.91870554 bitcoins from Binance and two crypto tokens held on the Indian crypto exchange Wazirx: WRX and USDT. In addition, another 44.5 BTC was later “caught in the cold” from the residence of Romen Agarwal.
