Odaily News The virtual currency trading platform AAX has stopped operating since mid-November 2022 due to system maintenance and updates. More than 300 customers have been unable to retrieve nearly HK$100 million in assets.

The man left Hong Kong in November 2022 and was arrested when entering Hong Kong yesterday (18th).

As of July 19, law enforcement agencies have received reports from 890 victims, involving an amount of HK$280 million. (East Net)
