The head of the market maker Gotbit, Alexey Andryunin, has been arrested in Portugal and is awaiting extradition to the United States.

As part of the investigation against Gotbit and other companies, the US FBI created its own crypto token called NexFundAI and registered a company of the same name in order to enter into an agreement with them and prove the facts of inflating trading volumes and manipulating the market.

The FBI website has published a form for applications for refunds for those who bought these tokens.

According to the Ministry of Justice, arrests have taken place in the US, UK and Portugal. Cryptocurrency worth $25 million has been confiscated and bots for creating fictitious trading volumes for more than 60 crypto assets have been disabled.
