The National Police of Ukraine caught four suspects, who participated in six cryptocurrency exchanges in the country. He was arrested last week from Dnipro city, after which his houses were attacked, and many computers and smartphones were seized. There is no report on the funds stolen near the police.

The alleged criminals attracted users by promoting exchanges with fake positive ratings and online reviews. The police said that the suspects had "special knowledge and skills in the field of programming" and "have created their own CMS-system to manage the content of exchange sites."

During the raid of suspects houses, the police seized computers, flash drives, smartphones and other devices. According to the Ukrainian National Police spokesperson, "the list of sites has not been completed." Now the authorities are asking the users to provide this information whether they were previously cheated by fraudulent exchanges.
