Montenegrin police arrested FutureNet co-founder Roman Ziemian, alleging he was living under a false identity in the country’s capital city.
Authorities in Montenegro said they have arrested Roman Ziemian, the co-founder of the alleged crypto fraud scheme FutureNet, which is suspected to have stolen around $21 million in an elaborate crypto fraud scheme.
A specialized police unit found Ziemian was using a false identity and living in the country’s capital Podgorica, the country’s Police Directorate said in an Aug. 19 statement.
An arrest warrant was issued by South Korea and Ziemian’s native Poland, who allege he committed fraud, money laundering, and theft. He faces the possibility of life imprisonment in South Korea, the police said.
