Over 20,000 bitcoin linked to failed Arbistar platform moved post-collapse, worth $1.6B today, amid fraud probes.

Spanish police revealed that wallets tied to the collapsed crypto platform Arbistar moved more than 20,000 bitcoin between January and March 2021, worth about $1.6 billion today. Arbistar, accused of running a pyramid scheme affecting up to 32,000 investors with promised weekly returns of 28%, froze accounts in September 2020, leaving many unable to access funds. Investigations show these bitcoin transfers were attempts to hide assets, with founder Santiago Fuentes Jover sentenced to 16 years in prison. Authorities continue tracing the crypto network linked to the case amid ongoing money laundering probes.
