These accounts were primarily used to receive the proceeds from various fraud cases. The syndicate used over 500 bank accounts to launder HK$118 million.

Among the laundered funds, HK$10 million from account number $ has been confirmed as part of the proceeds from 58 reported fraud cases, in which the victims suffered losses totaling approximately HK$43.2 million. The operation involved withdrawing cash from these accounts and converting it into cryptocurrency at virtual asset exchange stores to further obscure the money trail.
