According to the same statement, the investigation into the “Bridge Oracle” project began nine months ago.

Unofficial allegations against Estafi have been escalating for some time.

Last January, Estafi was sued by Bitcoin.com co-founder Mait Tokai for failing to pay for his services as a consultant on the Bridge project and for using his name to promote the project and its digital currency, BRG.

Soon after Estafi bought the tweet, Bridge users began accusing Estafi of fraud and misleading investors on Twitter.

The statement issued by the Cybercrime Investigation Center hinted that the “BRG” project was illegal, unreliable and unsupported and said that users in Iran are still stuck in the trap of fraudulent activities related to cryptocurrencies due to lack of financial knowledge and knowledge of investing in cyberspace.
