After two years of running away, AEX founder finally meets his end in Thailand?
Did you think that the bull market hasn't arrived, so the crypto world is peaceful? NONONO—today, a 'reheated cold dish' bombshell exploded in the crypto world ⚡️
At Thailand's Suvarnabhumi Airport, a real-life 'immediate capture upon landing' scenario unfolded, as a Chinese man named HUANG TIANWEI was arrested on charges of—allegedly committing crypto fraud amounting to 44 million RMB. A source, @chaoge_btc, revealed that this person is none other than the founder of the collapsed exchange AEX (Anyin) in 2022—Huang Tianwei.
Let's rewind to 2022, when AEX suddenly halted withdrawals, claiming 'short-term liquidity exhaustion,' leaving countless users staring at their funds on-chain. Three days later, they directly passed the blame to the police: 'Guangxi Public Security has requested our cooperation in the investigation, and the platform will be temporarily closed; everyone, please wait for further notice.' To translate: I’ve run away, don’t expect to see your money.
Now, after two years, he still hasn’t escaped Southeast Asia. In the Web3 era of grand navigation, this guy ultimately 'exited off-chain.'
Many old users are now expressing sentiments like 'My money might finally have some news.' But don’t celebrate too soon; recovering funds is as challenging as shorting BTC with 100x leverage.
Remember a famous saying in the crypto world: If you can't withdraw it, it’s not an asset; it’s just a screenshot.
