Thodex claimed on social media that no one had been scammed or had lost their money.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>However, many accused the exchange of performing an exit scam. At the time, Thodex called the accusations &#8220;baseless&#8221; and no more than a &#8220;smear campaign.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>While reports, at the time, estimated losses in the billions of dollars, the indictment has revised this figure to closer to $24 million. <\/p>\n<p>Ozer, who was reportedly last spotted in the same month the cryptocurrency exchange closed while boarding a flight to Albania from Istanbul airport, has been issued an international arrest warrant. The CEO claimed he was meeting investors abroad. <\/p>\n<p>Interpol has published&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.interpol.int\/en\/How-we-work\/Notices\/View-Red-Notices#2021-27622\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" data-component=\"externalLink\">a Red Notice<\/a> for Ozer. The Turkish national is wanted for &#8220;establishing organizations for the purpose of committing crimes [and] aggravated fraud,&#8221; according to the law enforcement agency. <\/p>\n<p>Ozer is still missing, despite assurances made last year that he would return to his home country to co-operate with local authorities. <\/p>\n<p>Cryptocurrency is a popular fiscal outlet for many members of the younger Turkish generation due to Turkey&#8217;s economic problems and the volatile lira. The trend has concerned Turkish financial authorities for years, with clampdowns being discussed, but citizens continue to pursue potential crypto profits in stablecoins &#8212; as well as fiat currencies, including the US dollar. <\/p>\n<p>Last month, two alleged operators of a rug pull non-fungible token (NFT) scam were arrested by US law enforcement. <\/p>\n<p>The two 20-year-old suspects have been charged for running Frosties, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/frosties-nft-operators-arrested-for-1-million-rug-pull-scheme\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">an NFT project<\/a> which raised approximately $1.1 million before an exit scam allegedly took place, leaving investors out of pocket. The US Department of Justice (DoJ) has imposed fraud-related charges. <\/p>\n<p><strong>See also<\/strong><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><strong>Have a tip?<\/strong> Get in touch securely via WhatsApp | Signal at
