WhiteRock founder to be extradited over $30M ZKasino case — ZachXBT
WhiteRock Finance founder Ildar Ilham was reportedly detained in the UAE more than a year after Dutch authorities announced an arrest linked to ZKasino.
Authorities in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) have reportedly taken Ildar Ilham, the founder of the decentralized finance protocol WhiteRock Finance, into custody as part of allegations over a $30-million scam through ZKasino.
According to a Thursday X post from crypto sleuth ZachXBT, UAE authorities arrested Ilham in connection with an investigation into “wide-scale fraud” surrounding ZKasino. ZachXBT’s report suggested that WhiteRock was connected to ZKasino’s $30 million fundraising.
The alleged investor scam followed ZKasino’s launch in April 2024, with the platform promising an airdrop of its native token to select users. However, reports indicate that more than a year later, the funds still have not been returned.
