Hong Kong's latest development in this cryptocurrency scam case. The prosecution has filed additional charges against influencer Zhu Jiahui, increasing the money laundering charges from the original single count to four counts. As a result, the case has been upgraded from a lower court to a district court for trial.



According to the latest court documents, the prosecution alleges that Zhu Jiahui transferred approximately HKD 18.78 million of suspicious funds between 2020 and 2023 through four bank accounts. He is suspected of knowingly or should have known that these funds were derived from criminal activities, yet he continued to handle these funds. The next court hearing is scheduled for March 27, and Zhu Jiahui is currently granted bail pending trial.

This case has attracted significant attention mainly because of the scale involved. The virtual asset trading platform JPEX, which operated without a proper license, collapsed in 2023, affecting over 2,700 investors with total losses reaching USD 206 million, setting the record for the largest cryptocurrency scam in Hong Kong history. Police have already detained over 80 people, with 16 individuals formally charged.

Well, it's this guy again. It's really outrageous that the money laundering charges have been raised from 1 to 4 counts. Zhu Jiahui really got into trouble this time. Transferring 18.78 million HKD back and forth like that—does he really think we don't know? JPEX has caused widespread panic. Over 2,700 retail investors' hard-earned money is gone—$210 million, brothers. This is why I never touch unlicensed exchanges. Playing with fire. Wait, he's bailed out? That's pretty impressive. The Hong Kong crypto scene is now completely ruined; credibility has been wiped out. 16 people have been prosecuted, over 80 arrested. The crackdown this time is quite strong. Who still remembers how JPEX was hyped up back then? Now it's all just a joke. Cases like this in the news are basically warning signs—how many more people need to fall into the trap?

Here we go again... Zhu Jiahui really knows how to stir things up. The money laundering charges have been upgraded from 1 to 4 counts, which is a real escalation. The 18.78 million HKD has been transferred back and forth like a流水账, truly impressive. --- That JPEX scheme, over 2,700 people got scammed, and $200 million just disappeared. This scale... is this the ceiling of crypto scams in Hong Kong? --- Wait, is this guy out on bail? The court hearing is not until March 27, and the pace is too relaxed. Something feels off. --- The online influencer involved in money laundering—this script looks so familiar... I should have seen through it long ago. --- I have to say, the Hong Kong prosecutors are serious this time. From a junior to a district level, pursuing 4 charges at once. Zhu Jiahui is in for a tough time. --- From 2020 to 2023, three whole years of openly transferring money like this—he's quite a ruthless person. --- So, how are the JPEX token holders doing now? Are they still waiting for compensation... --- Over 80 people have been arrested, only 16 have been formally charged. What about the rest?

18.78 million HKD across 4 accounts, with clear transfer records over three years. This data trail is more transparent than on-chain transactions... Prosecutors' case files might be piled into a small mountain.

18.78 million HKD transferred across four accounts? The risk factor is obvious at a glance—it's a typical multi-address dispersal pattern... By the way, this guy probably hasn't studied basic on-chain anonymity. If we're talking about private key management awareness, he definitely needs to catch up.

It's both money laundering and fraud; the scale is truly outrageous—$206 million, brother. When JPEX爆雷 happened, some people still rushed in. Now, we're finally seeing the follow-up. 18.78 million HKD just keeps transferring back and forth. Zhu Jiahui probably can't escape this time. That's why I always say: don't even touch platforms without licenses. Waiting to see the verdict on March 27. It seems this guy is going to serve time.

18.78 million HKD? This guy is really ruthless, his methods of transferring funds are indeed absolute. Another "top influencer" scandal, fans suffer heavy losses. JPEX, to put it plainly, is a case of daring to operate without regulation. Money laundering charges have increased from 1 to 4 counts, which clearly shows the prosecution has substantial evidence. It's really embarrassing for the entire industry that online influencers are involved in this. Over 2,700 victims, this number is quite frightening. Just thinking about it makes me angry; these scammers should be dealt with severely. If Zhu Jiahui is truly guilty, he should pay the price. The district court's trial indicates that the matter has escalated. Transferring Hong Kong dollars back and forth, thinking it can be cleaned? Haha. Daring to run an exchange without a license, this person's guts are really something. A black hole of $206 million, how can it be filled? Hopefully, this will serve as a wake-up call to all scammers. Bail and pre-trial detention are fine; what is meant to come, will come.
