The JPEX Scandal
JPEX, an unlicensed exchange promoted in Hong Kong in 2020, collapsed amid Ponzi scheme allegations.
The collapse resulted in over 70 arrests and an estimated $206 million in client losses.
Viral Publicity Stunt
Wong first gained notoriety in 2018 by throwing cash from a building in a poor district of Hong Kong.
He was arrested for disorderly conduct and later bailed.
Previous Fraud Allegations
In 2019, Wong and Mok were arrested for fraud related to selling "mining rigs" for the cryptocurrency Filecoin (FIL).
They allegedly defrauded investors of $385,000.
Ongoing Investigation
Hong Kong’s Security and Futures Commission identified JPEX as an unlicensed trading platform in September last year.
Eleven people associated with JPEX were arrested that month.
By June 3, the number of arrests rose to 73, with all parties released on bail.
