Taiwan Court Sentences Cointhink Fraud Leader to 22 Years for $71.3M USDT Laundering Scheme Affecting 1,539 Victims

Enforcement Actions Security Incidents

2026-07-21 06:37:24

According to Shilin District Court, on July 20, the mastermind of Cointhink Technology, identified by surname Shih, received a 22-year prison sentence for leading a cryptocurrency fraud ring that defrauded over 1,539 investors. The syndicate laundered $71.3 million through Tether's USDT by falsely advertising as Taiwan's only FSC-authorized platform, then funneling victims through fake investment groups to purchase tokens with physical cash. The group transferred illicit proceeds to offshore accounts and moved cryptocurrency through multiple layered transfers to obscure tracking. Fourteen individuals were indicted on fraud charges; prosecutors sought total asset confiscation from all defendants.
