On top of that, another five people familiar with the issue had told to a press agency earlier this week on condition of anonymity that the BellTroX’s hacking aspects on American targets including heavyweight investors were currently under investigation by the US law enforcement, nonetheless, the US Department of Justice had declined to comment over the subject-matter.

In tandem, while the identities of BellTroX’s clients still remained unclear, but the former employees had hinted some potential Wall St. investors alongside corporate rivals without mentioning the names, the BellTroX owner, Sumit Gupta, who had little information online about himself, had declined to disclose the names of his clients in a telephone interview.

Besides, Gupta had also denied any kind of wrongdoing. Nonetheless, followed by the reveal of the media reports that a low-profile Indian IT firm had been hacking activities of the Muddy Water founder Carson Block alongside KKR for nearly seven years, Block was quoted saying that he became disappointed, but was not surprised after hearing that his company had been targeted by some clients of BellTroX.
