Swift Summary:

• Modus Operandi: The company used social media platforms (YouTube, Google, Instagram) and tele-calling to attract depositors with promises of high short-term returns using fake agreements with reputed multinational corporations.
• Role of Aaryan Singh: Singh played a strategic role in the fraud, issuing receipts and designing the scheme alongside MD Amar Deep Kumar. He collected ₹14.35 crore from victims and diverted ₹1.62 crore into his personal account.

Indian Opinion analysis:

The arrest of Aaryan Singh underscores the persistent challenge India faces with financial scams leveraging technology platforms for widespread deception. ‘Falcon’ exploited investor trust by evoking credibility through fake associations with reputed firms while utilizing high-reach digital marketing strategies-a growing trend among fraudulent schemes.

This case exemplifies how vigilance from law enforcement agencies like CID is critical to combating economic crimes that undermine investor confidence across sectors. As Ponzi schemes adapt to more elegant methods using digital tools, India may need stronger regulatory mechanisms to monitor unconventional financial operations closely and protect vulnerable individual investors.

The broader implications include reinforcing public awareness about due diligence before investing-which can help deter potential victims-and advancing infrastructure for better detection of fraudulent practices through technological solutions at both state and national levels.
