Delhi Police Arrests Former Advocate in Ponzi Scheme

In an unrelated case, the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of the Delhi Police has detained a former advocate for allegedly orchestrating a large Ponzi scheme that defrauded investors of around Rs 100 crore. The accused, identified as Sanjay, 36, from Geeta Colony, was reportedly operating the scheme through various companies, including Trade Cops Pvt. Ltd. and Tradecop Financial Services.

Sanjay, who had previously been incarcerated in Karnal jail for a similar offense, along with his associates, including fellow advocate Deepak Thakur, solicited investments from the public by promising a fixed monthly return of 8%. They claimed that these profits were generated through advanced "in-house algorithms" that could yield over 20% monthly returns in the financial markets.
