The Cryptocurrency Pursuit: AEX Founder on the Run for Two Years, Captured in Thailand

Beneath the calm surface of the cryptocurrency market, turbulent currents often lie hidden. While many are eagerly awaiting the arrival of a bull market, a shocking news has rocked the crypto community—this is not an uplifting piece of good news, but a delayed 'liquidation'.

At Thailand's Don Mueang Airport, a hub that should be bustling with travelers, a dramatic scene unfolded. A Chinese man, HUANG TIANWEI, was arrested here, involved in a massive cryptocurrency fraud case amounting to 44 million yuan. According to insider @chaoge_btc, this individual is none other than the notorious founder of AEX AnYin Exchange, Huang Tianwei.

Looking back to 2022, AEX abruptly shut down its withdrawal function, citing 'short-term liquidity exhaustion' as the reason. Countless users were left waiting on the blockchain, eagerly hoping their assets could be 'unfrozen', but what they received instead was even more despairing news. Three days later, AEX shifted all blame onto the police, claiming 'to cooperate with the Guangxi Public Security investigation, the platform will temporarily close and await notification'. Anyone with clear eyes could see this was merely an excuse for the founder's escape, and countless investors' funds were lost.

After two years on the run, Huang Tianwei ultimately could not escape the long arm of the law, and he didn't even leave Southeast Asia. In an era where Web3 is flourishing with infinite possibilities, he bid a hasty farewell to the crypto world that once stirred up the winds and waves in such a miserable manner.

Upon hearing the news, many old users of AEX were filled with hope, believing they finally had a chance to recover their hard-earned money. However, reality is often cruel; under the complex cryptocurrency trading system, the road to recovering funds is fraught with challenges, its difficulty rivals that of shorting BTC with 100x leverage in the crypto market, how easy could that be?

In the ever-changing crypto world, there is a saying that every investor should remember: those assets that cannot truly be liquidated or withdrawn are never real assets; they are merely cold digital screenshots. In this high-risk market, staying vigilant at all times and not being blinded by the illusion of wealth is the way to survive.
