Turkish authorities have tracked around $160 million across electronic devices seized from Andreas Szakacs.

The first details since Szakacs’ arrest on July 10th have been reported by Turkish media.

Szakacks (right), who was hiding in Turkey as “Emre Avci”, denies OmegaPro collapsed in late 2022.

As reported by Timur Soykan of Birgun on August 21st, Szakacs claims OmegaPro

was not established for fraud. The company went bankrupt around September or October 2022.

We suffered the biggest loss. We covered the losses of many victims until we went bankrupt.

The reality is OmegaPro was a Ponzi scheme from inception in late 2018. OmegaPro victim losses are reported to run into the billions, most of which remains unaccounted for.

Explaining what he was doing in Turkey, why he changed his name and what he did for a living, Szakacs told Turkish authorities;

During his interrogation, [Szakacs] was asked, “Is there anyone you have escaped and hid from by changing your real name and surname?”

[Szakacs] said, “No, there is not. I changed it because it was my legal right.”

[Szakacs] said that he works in finance and marketing and his monthly income is $100,000.

He explained that he recently received citizenship due to his construction work. But he did not remember the places he made construction investments.

A raid on Szakacs’ 4-story luxury villa saw authorities seize

32 cold wallets containing cryptocurrencies and password storage devices.
