More than $4 bilion in crypto assets from the PlusToken ponzi scheme have been seized by Chinese police
As with most fraudulent crypto investment schemes, PlusToken victims were promised high and consistent returns with minimal to zero risk. The operators of PlusToken said that the returns “earned” by investors were generated through arbitrage trading. In reality, there was no arbitrage trading going on – the returns were generated by distributing investments from new members to old members.
