A series of significant penalties have been imposed on various companies and individuals in India and the United States. The Dantewada collector has levied a penalty of Rs 1,620.5 crore on NMDC. In another ruling, the Bombay High Court fined a company Rs 50 lakh for producing lookalikes of Fevicol. Additionally, a Kolkata-based public sector bank was fined Rs 2.68 crore by the Reserve Bank of India, which cited six points of reasoning for the penalty. In the U.S., a court has imposed an $800 million fine on a Vedanta-backed Indian company. Furthermore, Nigerian fintech entrepreneur Dozy Mmobuosi has been ordered to pay over $250 million in fines by a U.S. federal court after the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) described his holdings in Tingo Group as a 'fiction.' The court also barred him from serving as an officer of any public company, following his failure to respond to the SEC's civil complaint filed last December.

The businessman didn't even attempt to address the SEC complaint: "[The judge] entered a final judgment by default against Mmobuosi and his companies after the entrepreneur failed to make any representations in the civil complaint filed last December by the SEC." 🫢🫢 https://t.co/75Vjsh0HaM https://t.co/pFb0MFZfbr
