The counter-case
The case against this reading — not reported by the source.
If the chargesheet is taken cognisance of and the alleged predicate offences are sustained, Gameskraft could face prolonged management distraction, constrained access to cash and banking/payment rails, further asset-freezing risk, reputational damage with users and partners, and a material threat to the economics or continuity of its real-money gaming operations. The ₹19,984 crore proceeds-of-crime allegation creates an outsized headline and regulatory overhang even if the eventual legally sustainable amount is far lower.
