The Binance team responsible for investigating crimes played a crucial role in assisting with the apprehension of a suspect believed to have been involved in the ZKasino blockchain casino scam.
In April, it was discovered that ZKasino developers had transferred 10,515 ETH (equivalent to $33.9 million) to the Lido staking protocol and had altered the wording on the site, omitting the statement about returning ETH.
The deposit had been made by early participants in order to farm the ZKAS token. On April 29, the Dutch Fiscal Information and Investigation Service arrested a 26-year-old suspect.
They also seized assets valued at over €11.4 million ($12.2 million), including real estate, a vehicle, and cryptocurrencies, as well as digital storage devices found in the suspect’s residence.
