<h1>Agent arrested under PMLA for alleged central role in QFX/YFX/BotBro/Crossalpha Ponzi scheme defrauding investors via AI-robot forex trading</h1> A Uttar Pradesh-based agent was arrested and remanded to Enforcement Directorate custody for nine days under the PMLA for alleged central involvement in the QFX/YFX/BotBro/BotAlpha/Crossalpha/Minecrypto Ponzi scheme. The agency alleges the agent mobilised public deposits, promised 5-6% monthly returns via purported AI-robot forex trading, collected funds through payment aggregators and USDT, deleted investor IDs and halted payouts, and coordinated with UAE-based masterminds to divert proceeds into property and luxury spending via shell companies. Multiple FIRs across several states prompted searches and the freezing of about Rs 391 crore in 185 related bank accounts.
