The police in Ukraine has arrested a group of four men who were suspected of running six fake cryptocurrency exchanges, according to a report by the news outlet Bleeping Computer.
As of yesterday, four men aged between 20 and 26 have been arrested for launching (at least) six digital currency exchanges in an attempt to sell ‘fake’ cryptocurrencies and steal money from people. The lured users came from exchange promotions with fake positive ratings and online reviews. According to the police, the suspects had “special knowledge and skills in the field of programming” which is how they “created their own CMS system for managing the content of exchange sites”.
During this raid, the police reportedly seized computers, smartphones, flash drives and other devices. According to one spokesperson at the Ukrainian National Police, this list of sites is “not complete” and now authorities are asking users to provide detailed information about whether they were deceived by the fraudulent exchanges before.
Yesterday, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) also received another emergency court order to freeze the assets of Dominic Lacroix, commonly known as the owner of PlexCorps.

Lacroix, along with his partner, was accused of violating securities law in respect to the PlexCoin initial coin offering (ICO) that was conducted by PlexCorps in August last year. The ICO then raised $15 million from “thousands of investors”.
