Saitama CEO Faces Extradition Over $7.5B Token Manipulation Charges

Share

Saitama CEO Manpreet Kohli has lost his challenge against extradition to the United States, where he faces charges of wire fraud and cryptocurrency market manipulation tied to a token once valued at $7.5 billion.

US prosecutors allege that Kohli made about $20 million while Saitama promoters publicly claimed to hold or buy tokens as they privately sold them.

The case formed part of a US crypto manipulation crackdown, including the creation of NexFundAI by the FBI to investigate wash trading and fake trading volume.
