Vietnamese police arrest five suspects for cryptocurrency scam, suspected of embezzling over $530,000
According to Crypto Politan, Vietnamese police in the Da Nang area have arrested five suspects suspected of operating a cryptocurrency scam gang. In a statement, Vietnamese authorities mentioned that these suspects are based in Cambodia and run cryptocurrency scam activities. The scam involved imitating the Nasdaq exchange, with suspects embezzling 1.4 billion VND (approximately $53,280). Police also noted that these suspects possess a strong telecommunications network and electronic devices, enabling them to carry out illegal activities from residences in Da Nang. The gang used Zalo and Telegram to create dozens of fake accounts, post false trading activities, impersonate investment experts to deceive victims into investing, and falsely report profits. After embezzling funds, the money was transferred through multiple bank accounts and ultimately converted into cryptocurrency to conceal its origin.
