The scam, connected to the Fiewin gaming app, lured victims into online betting with promises of easy money before trapping their funds. As a result of the investigation, four individuals were arrested. 
According to Binance, the exchange provided “critical intelligence” that helped trace the illicit funds and unravel the scam network. The ED’s investigation, supported by Binance’s Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU), revealed links between digital wallets involved in the fraud.

An ED representative emphasized the importance of collaboration, stating, “Public-private partnerships are vital in combating complex financial crimes. In this case, Binance’s analytical support contributed significantly to the investigation.” 
While it has not been confirmed whether the full $47.6 million has been recovered, Binance’s efforts signal another successful collaboration with Indian authorities. 
Earlier this year, Binance and India’s ED worked together in a separate money laundering investigation, freezing millions of assets linked to the E-Nuggets gaming app. 
This ongoing cooperation between Binance and India’s financial authorities underscores the increasing importance of cryptocurrency exchanges in combating financial crime, particularly in countries where cryptocurrencies remain “unregulated.”
