Provisional attachment under the Act was upheld where funds raised by a bitcoin scheme were identified as proceeds of crime and laundered through layered banking transactions, asset purchases and shell entities; the Adjudicating Authority's characterisation of the impugned properties as tainted was supported by admissions and bank-trace analysis, and attachment was confirmed.
