reports
that Indian authorities have managed to seize $2.2 million.

The rest of the money Khute stole through Global Affiliate Business has been laundered out of India through shell companies.

The investigation has revealed that Khute orchestrated various illegal trades, crypto exchanges, and wallet services through the VIPS Group of companies, with the proceeds being transferred to foreign countries through hawala transactions.

As of mid May, Khute appears to have been trying to recruit new Global Affiliate Business victims in Malaysia:

The VIPS Group asset seizures were made under India’s Foreign Exchange Management Act. Presumably Khute is also facing criminal charges in India.
