In the year 2013 when National Spot Exchange Limited crisis came into light the parent company FTIL is blamed. But the defaulters who are actually responsible for all the money laundering are roaming scot-free. Defaulter AasthaMinmet, Lotus Refineries, White Water are some of the defaulters who are investigated by investigating agencies.

Lotus Refineries is Maharashtra based company with assets situated in Punjab & Chandigarh. The Seventh-biggest defaulter Lotus Refineries owes Rs 252.48 crore to the National Spot Exchange. Lotus Refineries  led by Arun Kumar Sharma and Prashant Kumar Anand. Amongst them Arun Kumar Sharma was arrested on 11 Nov 2013 but released on 11 Feb 2014.

The Maharashtra Protection of Interest of Depositors (MPID) court has ordered transfer of Rs 12.74 crore from 27 bank accounts of Lotus Refineries Pvt Ltd to the account of the competent authority in the Rs 5,600 crore National Spot Exchange Ltd (NSEL) crisis case.
