On July 3rd at 19:00, Huang Tianwei, the founder of AEX Anyin (formerly Bit Era) exchange, has been released on bail by his family in Thailand, while AEX major holder Wu Jun has also retrieved the funds stored in the exchange. After Huang Tianwei fled, he did not allow any exchange users to withdraw their funds, with only three individuals retrieving their funds stored in the exchange.
1. Ronghua, raised 30,000 from AEX victim group friends, went to Lianjiang with Huang Tianwei's family tree to dig up Huang Tianwei's ancestral grave, retrieved 80% of the funds stored in the exchange, and signed a confidentiality agreement, with the remaining 20% to be paid back in two years.
2. Shi Dewei, the three individuals kidnapped Huang Tianwei to their car and drove onto the highway, managing to retrieve the funds stored in the exchange; later, Shi Dewei was administratively detained for 15 days and then released.
3. Wu Jun, after Huang Tianwei was arrested in Thailand for fraud, retrieved the funds stored in the exchange.
Bit Era has been operating for over a decade since 2013, with its platform users mostly being seasoned OGs in the cryptocurrency circle, accumulating substantial user funds. Currently, Huang Tianwei's approach is very clear: no user can withdraw funds back, and all those who managed to confront Huang Tianwei directly have retrieved their funds.
Infuriating? Ridiculous? The world is just that real!
