As the JPEX fraud incident gradually escalates, the Hong Kong police have mobilized multiple arrests of suspected persons involved, and have also sought the cooperation of Interpol in investigating the case. In addition, it was also discovered that JPEX once established a company in Australia, but it seems to have been affected by the Hong Kong incident and has now applied for deregistration.
JPEX incident tracking: Hong Kong police have questioned 11 people
According to a report by the South China Morning Post, the mastermind of the JPEX case may have fled Hong Kong. The police have currently questioned 11 suspects, but they are unlikely to be key figures in this case. At the same time, approximately 2,265 complaints from victims were also received.
According to the report, the police are focusing on understanding how much the suspect knows about the operations of JPEX and trying to clarify the relationship between the suspect and the cryptocurrency OTC (over-the-counter trading) industry.
Those who are known to have been arrested by the Hong Kong police include:
Now 33 years old, former lawyer and social KOL Lin Zuo
Now 36 years old, Youtuber Chen Yi
Zhu Jiahui, 31 years old, founder of the over-the-counter trading service provider "Kt Club"
Tsang Cho-shun, 22 years old, company secretary of JPEX Technical Support Company, now renamed Web3 Technical Support Company
Jason Chan Hiu-ho, 22 years old, new company secretary of Web3 Technical Support Company
Tang Lap-shun, 26 years old, employee of Web3 technical support company
Huang Haobang, 32 years old, director of Bored Garden restaurant, also provides cryptocurrency OTC services
In addition, JPEX director Guo Haolun is currently on the police's wanted list, and this person may be recruited to set up the company.
In addition to the above-mentioned people, Hong Kong singer Julian Cheung, well-known Feng Shui master Chen Dingbang and Malaysian actress Zhuang Strontium have all been questioned by the police because they helped JPEX promote it.
The report stated that the police had identified cryptocurrency transfers related to the platform and would seek help from Interpol.
JPEX once established a company in Australia and voluntarily deregistered it this week
In addition to the above information, the police also discovered that a company registered in Australia as "JP-EX Crypto Asset Platform Pty Ltd" applied to the Australian Securities and Investments Commission for voluntary deregistration on Tuesday.
The company had assets of less than 1,000 Australian dollars (approximately US$647) when it was registered in 2020. It was registered by the 28-year-old former director Cheung Sze-ki (Hong Kong), but the current director has changed to 32-year-old Chen Jieyi (China people).
Although it is impossible to be 100% certain about the relationship between this company and Hong Kong JPEX, the time of deregistration, name and services provided are all deeply related.
