Polish Prosecutors Charge Fifth Suspect in Zondacrypto Case

Polish prosecutors have charged Roman Ż., a former business partner of the missing BitBay/Zondacrypto founder Sylwester Suszek, with two counts including fraud. Roman Ż. was arrested while allegedly planning a trip to China. The case involves the 2021 rebranding of BitBay to Zondacrypto, which ceased operations in April following frozen withdrawals and estimated losses of at least 35 million PLN (approx. $94 million). The investigation has been merged with the case of Suszek's 2022 disappearance.
