Virtual asset trading platform security issues sound the alarm again. According to the latest reports from Hong Kong media, the unlicensed JPEX platform's suspected large-scale scam case continues to ferment—several influencers and celebrities are suspected of colluding to induce investors to participate, resulting in serious asset losses. Among them, well-known influencer Zhu Jiahui has been added with 3 new charges of money laundering. According to investigations, from November 2020 to August 2023, he processed a total of HKD 18.8 million through accounts at ZhongAn Bank, Mox Bank, Lihui Bank, and HuiLi Bank.

This case once again reminds us: when choosing a trading platform, be sure to verify licensing and qualifications. Fly-by-night platforms often exploit celebrity effects to attract retail investors, but ultimately, it’s the investors who pay the price. The virtual asset market is a mixed bag, and the importance of compliant exchanges goes without saying.

Zhu Jiahui's recent actions are truly outrageous, washing 18.8 million just like that? Really, don't be fooled by the influencer halo; this circle is a slaughterhouse for cutting leeks. --- It's another unlicensed platform, and another celebrity endorsement—this routine is completely rotten... Retail investors are still sleepwalking. --- Virtual asset scams in Hong Kong and Macau are happening one after another. When will they finally learn their lesson? --- Washing dirty money so blatantly, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority really should step in. --- When choosing a platform, just look at the license; if there's none, just pass. How can people still fall into this trap with such a simple principle? --- Celebrity endorsement of virtual currency platforms = high-risk signal. Remember this equation, and it can save half of your wallet. --- After the exposure of JPEX, how many similar shady platforms are lurking in the shadows... It's chilling to think about.

It's the same old story again. Can't influencers' product promotion scams come up with a new trick?

Another unlicensed platform scamming retail investors, relying on internet celebrities for promotion—truly incredible. 朱家辉 washing 18.8 million HKD without issue? How big must this legal loophole be? Everyone, pay attention—unlicensed exchanges are just casinos, don't touch them. Honestly, I'm tired of the celebrity endorsement tricks in the crypto world; why can't retail investors learn? You really need to verify licenses carefully, or you'll end up losing everything and only have yourself to blame. Internet celebrities have reached new heights in scamming retail investors; I've never seen anything so outrageous. The JPEX incident is still unfolding; I wonder how many more people will fall for it. A compliant exchange and a scam coin—it's obvious which is which, but some people pretend not to see. 18.8 million HKD... if it were me, I would have emigrated long ago. The alarm bells have rung so many times, yet some still insist on jumping into the pit.

18.8 million HKD... This is the price of following internet celebrities, really deserved It's another celebrity-endorsed scam, retail investors are still foolishly getting chopped for chives Unlicensed platforms are a ticking time bomb; checking licenses is truly a lifesaver This time, JPEX has completely flipped over; how many more such black platforms do the Hong Kong police need to investigate? Celebrity endorsements = guaranteed pitfalls; when will this formula be ingrained in retail investors' minds? A compliant exchange, no matter how expensive, is better than being scammed, it's that simple 朱家辉's 18.8 million in transactions... shows how many people have been severely scammed The alarm has sounded so many times, yet some still rush to unregulated platforms, unbelievable Unlicensed = bottom line zero; this time, you should finally understand This incident is a real-life textbook example; it seems we need to keep getting scammed to remember it well

It's the same old trick again, celebrities promoting products to fleece retail investors, resulting in investors losing everything. A turnover of 18 million just passes through the account so openly, the level of scrutiny is truly remarkable. 朱家辉's handling of this matter is so ugly that I'm embarrassed for the fans. JPEX? Platforms I haven't heard of, I just pass on them. Even those with licenses don't dare to touch them casually. The water in the virtual asset pool is really deep. Retail investors are still too greedy. They rush in when influencers promote, and the result of not checking credentials is exactly this. Is compliance really that difficult? Do you have to play with unlicensed platforms? These days, following trends in investment is like giving away money. Wake up, everyone.
