What’s new? A Turkish prosecutor has demanded a life sentence for the founders and executives of the Thodex cryptocurrency exchange. The prosecution believes the 21 defendants should be sentenced to terms of up to 40 564 years in prison. Among the defendants is 28-year-old CEO Faruk Fatih Özer, who has been on Interpol’s international wanted list since 2021, Bloomberg reports. According to the materials of the investigation, the total damage from the exchange’s activities amounted to $24 million.
Details of the case. In 2021, the investors filed a class-action lawsuit against the Thodex cryptocurrency exchange, accusing its founders of fraud. On April 21, all trading on the platform stopped.
