Ukrainian law enforcement shut down the Money 24/7 fake crypto exchange ring, seizing over 20 million hryvnias and detaining the organizer. The scam involved a polished facade including a registered trademark and physical office, defrauding victims through staged in-person cash exchanges for cryptocurrency that was never delivered.
