Crypto Scam? Oy Vey! 💰

by

So, Taiwan, huh? They’ve got themselves a situation! A situation, I tell ya! Turns out these 14 geniuses thought they could pull a fast one with this BitShine thing. Forty-one million dollars! That’s a lot of noodles, let me tell you. They swiped NT$1.27 billion from over 1,500 people. 1,500! That’s like… a lot of angry mothers-in-law. 👵

These culprits weren’t just bad people, they were sneaky bad people. They apparently passed all the financial checks – passed them! – while hiding the real villain, Biying Technology, which wasn’t approved. It’s like pretending you’re a doctor with a fake stethoscope! A very expensive, digital stethoscope. 🩺

They were moving money around like it was a game of musical chairs, but with USDT and… international bank transfers? A series of complex transfers, they say. Complex! Like a borscht recipe! 🍲

The Scheme: A Regular Klutz Parade

This Shih character? He was the mastermind! The head honcho! And his wife? Asia-Pacific Director! Oy, the responsibilities! And Mr. Yang was in charge of business. They had everything! Except, apparently, a conscience. 🙄

And they teamed up with… organized crime? What is this, a gangster movie? They told people to send money to their wallets, then shuffled it around to make it disappear. Laundry… money laundry! It’s like trying to hide a salami in a snowstorm! ❄️

They laundered over 75 million dollars! Seventy-five million! And stole 41 million of it in just over a year. A year! I can’t even finish a pickle in a year! 🥒

They raided these guys and found cash, USDT, fancy cars…luxury items! Of course, luxury items! What kind of criminal doesn’t splurge? And everyone is claiming to be the only ones approved by the Financial Supervisory Commission? The chutzpah! The sheer chutzpah!

They even had storefronts! Forty of them! Like a crypto-fueled franchise operation. Deposit machines, too. Deposit machines! They wanted everything to be very… convenient. For themselves, that is. 😤

The Punishment? Don’t Get Me Started!

So, Shih, the ringleader, is facing 25 YEARS! Twenty-five years! And he won’t even admit he did anything wrong? A lack of remorse? Unbelievable! These other guys might get off lighter if they give the money back. Smart move, fellas, smart move. Though a little late….

They want to take back ALL the money, of course. One point two seven five billion NTD. Good luck with that. Getting money back from criminals is like trying to catch smoke with a sieve! 💨

And get this… someone else scammed the scammers! A Mr. Gu promised to get them legit approvals for three million NTD! It’s a scam within a scam! A double-cross! A… it’s too much! My head is spinning!😵‍💫
