An alleged cryptocurrency scam operating out of the Middle East has seen four Australians lose more than $2.3million, as a Sydney lawyer is charged.
The alleged victims told police they have been defrauded by a suspected cybercurrency scam back in 2019.
They had responded to an online advert and then spoke to an unknown person to deposit money to trade in cybercurrencies.
Between December 2018 and March 2019, the four men – who were then aged between 69 and 95 – deposited a total of $2,311,000 into various Australian bank accounts.
Inquiries revealed the Australian accounts, which had subsequently been closed by the bank due to suspicious transactions, were all linked to a Sydney-based solicitor.
