Pelaku penipuan cryptocurrency China dipenjara dalam skema Ponzi senilai US $2,25 miliar yang melibatkan platform PlusToken

December 2, 2020 by Winnie the Pooh

Pengadilan China telah menghukum pemimpin kelompok skema piramida berbasis cryptocurrency multinasional hingga 11 tahun penjara setelah mereka menipu investor dari cryptocurrency senilai 14,8 miliar yuan (US $2,25 miliar), menurut dokumen pengadilan dari provinsi timur Jiangsu.

PlusToken, platform yang didirikan oleh Chen Bo pada awal 2018, menggunakan teknologi buku besar terdesentralisasi yang dikenal sebagai blockchain untuk menarik jutaan orang yang diminta untuk membayar biaya keanggotaan mereka dalam cryptocurrency.

Platform tersebut menawarkan pengembalian investasi yang tinggi berdasarkan jumlah anggota yang mereka rekrut dan jumlah investasi, menurut putusan pidana yang diterbitkan oleh Pengadilan Menengah Rakyat di Yancheng, Jiangsu, pada akhir November.

Itu adalah contoh klasik dari skema Ponzi yang menghasilkan keuntungan bagi investor awal dengan menggunakan uang dari investor kemudian, sementara tidak ada bisnis nyata yang terlibat.

Namun, ukuran penipuan PlusToken menjadikannya salah satu skema Ponzi yang terungkap terbesar di China yang telah memanfaatkan teknologi blockchain, menggunakan cryptocurrency sebagai media.

Setelah PlusToken bangkrut pada pertengahan 2019, dan otoritas China mulai mengejar pemimpinnya di dalam negeri dan luar negeri, harga bitcoin anjlok hampir 30 persen dari harga tertinggi tahun ini, menjadi sekitar US $10.000 per koin.

Menurut dokumen pengadilan, antara 2018 dan 2019, Chen dan bawahannya telah menggunakan media sosial dan acara offline untuk merekrut anggota, yang membayar biaya keanggotaan mereka menggunakan cryptocurrency arus utama, termasuk bitcoin, senilai setidaknya US $500.

Sebagai imbalannya, PlusToken mengklaim bahwa ia menawarkan pengembalian investasi 6 hingga 18 persen dari bisnis arbitrase, yang mendapat untung dari perbedaan harga pada cryptocurrency antara pasar yang berbeda.
