Chinese authorities have arrested all 27 major suspects of PlusToken Ponzi scheme

China's Ministry of Public Security has reportedly arrested all 27 major suspects of the PlusToken Ponzi scheme that defrauded nearly $3 billion from its victims.

Several Chinese news outlets reported the news on Thursday, saying that the ministry has also arrested 82 "key members" involved in the scheme.

In August 2019, Chinese police officials confirmed to The Block that six suspects affiliated with PlusToken had been arrested, but the main suspects were still on the run at the time.

PlusToken was launched in early 2018 and was already suspected to be a pyramid scheme as early as September 2018. In June 2019, the company triggered a wide-ranging panic among Chinese and Korean investors when some users reported that they could not withdraw funds from the wallets. However, the issues were then brushed off as a "hacker attack."

PlusToken managed to collect multi-billion dollars from about 800,000 investors. Over a period of time, hundreds of millions of dollars tied to PlusToken have been moved. Just last month, nearly 790,000 ETH, worth roughly $188 million at the time, were moved.

It is not yet known whether the most important persons of this Scam have been arrested, but the fact that the scammers are systematically sent to prison makes me happy.

Ledger Hardware Crypto Wallet Team Disclosed Data Breach, 1 Mln Users' Data Under Attack

July 29, 2020, the team behind the Ledger products revealed that a critical vulnerability had been disclosed two weeks ago in the Ledger e-commerce database.
It has mostly affected the email addresses of Ledger purchasers, but it has also affected some personal information.

As announced by the Ledger team in their recent official statement, a participant in the Ledger bounty program contacted them on July 14 with information about a security breach.
It was immediately fixed, but then the experts disclosed that the system had been further exploited on June 25.

A third-party attacker accessed the segments of e-commerce and promotional databases holding the email addresses of customers.
Additionally, 9,500 users were exposed to a leak of order details: name, street address, phone number and the details of what they ordered.

During the investigation, Ledger's officers found out that the malefactor abused the API key. This API key was immediately deactivated and is no longer accessible.

At 18, as a rule, everyone is still children who do not really understand anything. In any case, remembering myself and my peers at the age of 18 and comparing to the age of at least 21, I feel a huge difference.
It is more profitable for a casino to make an age limit, the lower the better. But personally, I would prefer that people were allowed to visit casinos only from 25-27 years old. This would lead to a significant reduction in the possibility of addiction.

At the moment, we cannot say with 100% certainty that these requests come from a real Jetwin employee, no such conditions have been sent to him (her) by email.
In addition, the OP has dealt with this casino for a long time, and as has been repeatedly mentioned above, without any problems with the withdrawal of funds.
It is necessary not to rush to conclusions, but to wait for the development of the situation

I am worried about the fact that these shadow bitcoins can enter the market at the most inopportune moment and in one way or another affect the movement of the bitcoin price.
Of course, this is unlikely, because we do not know the full picture of who exactly owns all these bitcoin, most likely scattered groups of people.
Otherwise, I agree, there is essentially nothing to worry about.

At least 870,000 bitcoins are associated with illegal activities. This is about $ 10 billion.

• Darknet marketplaces - 585,000 BTC.
• Stolen bitcoins - 204,000 BTC.
• Scam project organizers - 98,000 BTC.
• Other illegal activities 3,000 BTC.

One day, all these bitcoins will somehow hit the market.  

@Magdel2014
Has the story received any development?
Have there been any other messages from the support team? Or do they remain silent?
Do you continue to negotiate in telegrams?

Everything is correct. Conduct correspondence only where you can really be sure that you are conducting it with Jetwin's representatives.
If they decide not to pay you money, their reputation will be tarnished. In this case, it will be important that as many people as possible find out about this, I am sure they realize this and will not do stupid things.

Like many startups, 90% of which die without taking their first steps along with investor money. We have a very similar situation, only our crypto startups first have to raise money, and only then try to realize themselves, otherwise they die even earlier than ordinary startups. Therefore, the fact that most of them do not pay funds is not surprising, 95% of them are simply not able to take place at the stage of fundraising.

How long ago did you send documents?
I received verification on this exchange more than a year ago, it seems that it lasted two weeks, and I was refused several times without explanation. But in the end I got through. At that time it was called differently.
Most of all, I did not like in this exchange that in order to untie 2fa I had to write in support and wait for months, so I decided not to use it.

Have you read the news in full?

This person is not entirely ordinary. He organized an underground cryptocurrency exchange with a commission of 25%, and money laundering is associated with this.
In other words, he is a businessman who does not shy away from getting his hands dirty. It is possible that he laundered drug money.

Who will monitor whether the prisoner is at home? Do you think that after such an "amnesty" the prisoners will sit quietly and wait until they are locked back in their cells? I do not think.
What will they eat? They will not have work, which means they will not have money. That is, they will be fed by their families, who may not even be waiting for them. The risk that such a rabble will begin to rob, steal and rape is too great.

As mentioned above, all areas of our life were affected. One for the better, others for the worse.
People realized how much they depend on work, they realized that in their life no one will help them, you cannot rely on the state, private business does not care about you.
You only have you, and all you can count on is yourself and your own strength. Therefore, everyone should be prepared for scenarios like this.

Only we are responsible for the events that happen to us. Our action or our inaction leads to what is happening to us now.
If we neglected to search for information about any project and ended up falling for a scam, it is our fault.
We should always be critical of everything, even in cases where we are 100% sure of the correctness of our choice.

There are a lot of similar stories, and as a rule, we read about them post factum, when a considerable amount of time has passed and the dust has settled.
All such cases should be opened in hot pursuit. Given the impact of this forum on the crypto gambling sphere, a positive outcome is not excluded.

Such topic already exist Jetwin casino is stealing over 30,000 dollars in winnings from me



It's not entirely clear to me when the chatting took place. Before or after this email? If after, then it is obvious that you need to wait some time before sounding the alarm.
But if the email came before and after correspondence followed, then we need to act now. In any case, if they do not pay the money, they will ruin their reputation and lose much more.

In order to live well, a person must develop. Losing a job is painful, but often not fatal. You are still alive, you have something to make money. But, it is important to understand that anything can happen in life, an epidemic, a war, a cataclysm. And the world in the usual sense can change in a very short time. Therefore, everyone is obliged to protect themselves in such a way that he would have funds of various kinds, including cash, in stock.

I think this makes sense only if someone makes a certain amount of bets in completely different casinos, and then checks them. Thus, we can understand how things are in each individual casino.
There is no point in checking and posting the same thing every time. If it works, then it works.

Same. The inertia of my mind tells me that checking the fairness bets is unnecessary. After all, I am already playing on the platform chosen by more sophisticated forum users who have probably done all the checks before me. However, everything should be checked, what I think about is just an assumption that relieves me of responsibility and forces me to do nothing.
