Vietnamese police reported on the ONUS cryptocurrency case, seizing over 350 kilograms of gold and silver and freezing eight real estate transactions.
Foresight News , citing Vietnam's Tuoi Tre newspaper, the Vietnamese Ministry of Public Security recently held a press conference to report on the investigation into the ONUS cryptocurrency case. A representative from the Investigation and Security Department (A09) of the Ministry of Public Security stated that in the investigation of the ONUS cryptocurrency exchange's alleged embezzlement, police have seized over 350 kilograms of gold and silver, frozen transactions involving eight properties worth 200 billion Vietnamese dong, and suspended over 300 bank accounts used by the defendants to trade with investors. On March 23rd of this year, police filed criminal charges against eight defendants, accusing them of using computer and telecommunications networks to commit embezzlement and money laundering. Since 2018, the perpetrators have exploited the public's lack of understanding of cryptocurrencies, creating digital accounts through applications and packaging them as virtual currencies. They built trust and attracted investment through cyclical buying and selling between affiliated companies, ultimately embezzling funds. Between 2018 and 2021, they sold over 7 trillion Vietnamese dong worth of cryptocurrency. A representative from A09 stated that the case involves numerous individuals and users, with approximately 5 million user accounts currently in operation. Police have received over 2,000 reports from citizens, and the recovery of assets is ongoing. They are also investigating whether social media influencers colluded with the defendants in promoting the cryptocurrency.
