[Hong Kong Police Investigate HK$21.4 Million Virtual Currency Fraud Case, No Arrests Yet]
Odaily Planet Daily News: The Hong Kong police received a report from a victim claiming they were invited to invest in virtual currency through a trading platform. Between August and December last year, they invested approximately HK$21.4 million worth of virtual currency but were later unable to withdraw funds, suspecting they had been scammed. It is reported that the Hong Kong police have initiated an investigation through the Fifth Unit of the Criminal Investigation Team of the Tseung Kwan O Police District and have classified the case as 'obtaining property by deception.' No arrests have been made so far. The police also remind the public to be cautious of any investment projects claiming high returns and not to trust insider information shared on social media platforms lightly. Before investing in virtual products, one should fully understand the characteristics of the products and the associated information security risks. (Hong Kong Wen Wei Po)
