About this scam

PlusToken was a Chinese cryptocurrency wallet scam that stole approximately $3.5 billion in Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other cryptocurrencies from over 2 million investors. Marketed as a high-yield wallet with guaranteed returns, the scheme used a referral-based pyramid structure. Six key operators were arrested in China in 2020, and the stolen funds were partially traced through blockchain analysis.
