Attackers misled victims with fake charts showing the profits from trading financial assets.
The 45-year-old Israeli confessed to scamming investors from Germany, Austria and other countries through call centers operating in Eastern European cities. The man helped steal almost $ 10 million from hundreds of victims of a large-scale cybertrading scam while under the influence of cocaine and whiskey.
As reported by the news agency Bloomberg, in fact, investors never had a chance to get their money back, let alone make a profit. The defendant was a member of Operation Wolf of Sofia, named after its leader, Gal B.
From 2015 to 2019, the Israeli was the manager of call centers operating in Bulgaria, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Georgia. The scammers used trading platforms, which they called Safemarkets, OptionStarsGlobal, Cryptopoint, XTraderFX, etc. On the XTraderFX platform, investors from all over the world paid at least $ 70 million in less than a year.
Attackers misled victims with fake charts showing profits from trading financial assets, including cryptocurrency, binary options, and CFDs. The victims' money was channeled through a money-laundering network.
The defendant confessed that he abused drugs in order to cope with the high pressure in the business, as well as out of remorse that he had defrauded investors. The man wants to go to a rehabilitation center and hopes that he will be transferred to Israel, where his ex-wife lives with their children.
