More than USD 240 million in revenue from the alleged crypto-fraud, PlusToken, have moved through four Bitcoin (BTC) transactions.
Whale Alert - a Twitter account dedicated to reporting large transactions in cryptocurrencies - published on August 17 that four transactions totaling 22,923 BTC were probably PlusToken's earnings.
The four transactions moved 6,000 BTC, 5,000 BTC, 7,000 BTC and 4,923 BTC. All transactions took place on August 17. The monitor admits that, although transactions are likely to be associated with the supposed scheme, they are not confirmed.
The largest reported exit scam
As Cointelegraph reported in an analysis of the largest crypto thieves, PlusToken could be the largest outgoing crypto scam, with an estimated loss of around USD 2.9 billion. It is said that PlusToken has fraudulently claimed that it could offer wallet holders an investment return of between 8% and 16% per month, after depositing USD 500 in crypto assets.
The forensic cryptocurrency and blockchain company, Ciphertrace, says the platform involves several Chinese citizens, the Chinese police and the company's co-founders: a South Korean operating under the alias of "Kim Jung Un" and a Russian known only as "Leo."
Recently, a United States District Court issued an emergency freeze to preserve USD 8 million in assets associated with several entities accused of an initial fraudulent and unregistered coin offer.
New York resident Reginald Middleton and two entities under his administration were initially accused by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission for raising approximately USD 14.8 million in a fraudulent ICO.
