Szakacs, a co-founder of OmegaPro, was arrested in Turkey for allegedly scamming investors of $4 billion in a cryptocurrency Ponzi scheme.
The Turkish authorities tracked $160 million of cryptocurrency movements and seized 32 cold wallets, yet Szakacs did not provide passwords for these devices.
Prior to its collapse in late 2022, OmegaPro faced regulatory fraud warnings from countries like France, Belgium, Spain, and Argentina.
The arrest of Szakacs stemmed from an anonymous tip-off, and a Dutch national claimed he lost $7 million in the alleged scheme.
