Thimphu Police to Forward Case of Alleged Crypto Fraudster to OAG
Thimphu Police will forward the case of 32-year-old Sandeep Rai Chamling to the Office of the Attorney General (OAG) on Monday for prosecution.
Chamling, a self-proclaimed crypto expert, faces multiple charges including online gambling, fronting, misleading advertising, deception, tax evasion, and money laundering. He was arrested in October following numerous complaints filed against him and is currently out on bail. 46
According to Thimphu Police Station, more than 100 complaints have been lodged against Chamling at the station alone. In addition, the Competition and Consumer Affairs Authority (CCAA) has reportedly received nearly 70 complaints related to the case.
Police stated that although the investigation was completed last month, they were unable to determine the exact amount of tax allegedly evaded since 2022. This was due to the unavailability of required financial figures from the Department of Revenue and Customs.
The case is now set to be reviewed by the Office of the Attorney General for further legal proceedings.
