Detailing The Scheme And The Seizure

The operation, codenamed Secret Word, culminated in the arrest
of 27 suspects who allegedly masterminded the fraud and swindled unsuspecting
individuals from Hong Kong and other countries, including India, Singapore,
and Malaysia.

The Hong Kong police deployed over 100 officers to investigate and conduct an
onsite raid, seizing over HK$200,000 ($25,742) in cash, luxury watches, and
other valuables.

Among the items confiscated were a red Richard Mille watch worth HK$2 million
($257,400) and a gold Rolex valued at approximately HK$300,000 ($38,600).

The elaborate scheme ran for about a year and primarily involved luring
victims through online romance scams. Victims were duped into believing they
were in genuine romantic relationships with individuals who persuaded them to
invest in cryptocurrency• Экономика » Финансы » Платежные средства » Платежные системы интернета » Криптовалюта schemes.

Instead of earning returns, victims were scammed out of their money. Using
digital assets, the perpetrators could avoid detection, exploiting

Authorities stated that the victims came from a range of different
backgrounds, with some from Hong Kong and others from various countries in
Southeast Asia.

fraudsters operated across borders while leveraging the digital nature of
cryptocurrencies• Экономика » Финансы » Платежные средства » Платежные системы интернета » Криптовалюта .

Superintendent Iu Wing Kan highlighted that the syndicate could avoid
traditional financial systems, thus creating obstacles for law enforcement in
tracking the movement of funds.

How The Bust Took Place

According to another Superintendent, Yao Yongqin, the bust was possible after
the police received intelligence about the fraud group involved in the
case in August this year.

Yongqin mentioned that after two months of investigation, the police could
finally crack the location, identify where the scam operation took place, and
figure out the identities of the group members. Notably, the police
took action on the 9th of this month, Yongqin revealed.
