The suspects deceived victims under the guise of making investment transactions, amassing approximately $1 million in daily profits, the statement read, adding that around 100,000 individuals in over 50 countries were defrauded in the scheme. The statement said the FSB has arrested 11 individuals linked to the case, and investigative and operational activities are still ongoing. (IANS)
