Israeli lawyer Moshe Strugano, long exposed by FinTelegram as one of the legal facilitators of the Israeli binary-options fraud industry, has reportedly been arrested in Greece at the request of U.S. authorities. According to Calcalist, the arrest relates to the U.S. insider-trading case over Ormat’s 2018 acquisition of U.S. Geothermal, in which Strugano allegedly made around $1.2 million in illicit profits.

A new pressure campaign by DDG founder Nivie Kaul is pushing past the usual wallet-tracing narrative in crypto scam cases. Instead of focusing only on who stole the money, Kaul is asking who sat behind the infrastructure: MetaQuotes as the MT4/MT5 platform provider, Raritex as a key ownership layer, and Sumsub as the KYC vendor inside the broader chain. The result is a messy and politically charged story involving the DOJ’s record $225.3 million seizure.
