The Putnam County Sheriff’s Office has arrested a suspect accused of swindling two victims over the age of 70 after they fell for a computer scam and withdrew over $268,000 to purchase gold coins.
At least twice an unknown male came to the victims’ home and picked up the gold coins.
Due to the photographs of the vehicle and male that came to retrieve the coins, Putnam County Investigators were able to positively identify Tulasi Timsina of Nashville, Tennessee. Timsina is originally from Nepal and is here in the United States on a Green Card.
On December 10, 2025, PCSO arrested Tulasi Ram Timsina for Financial Exploitation of an Elderly Adult. Timsina has a bond set at $200,000 and a court date of January 12, 2026.
