This seems like the closure.
In 2011 or 12, I met Amit Bhardwaj in a Bitcoin meetup we use to run in Delhi.
After the meetup he approached me and few others for a scam.
Ever since then I have seen him do scams after scams, each larger than the earlier.

I hope stupid media doesn't want bitcoin banned coz of this.

Because of these kind of people we are getting bad image for whole cryptocurrency market. If you go and ask some non crypto guy about Bitcoin, he/she would definately say it's a scam because they see news like this and think Bitcoin = scam, Ponzi etc.

About time they stopped this fraudster.  Would love to see him locked up for a long long while.
