Chinese police have seized a total of 194,774 Bitcoin—a total 1% of the Bitcoin total supply—over the PlusToken Ponzi scheme, as reported by The Block.
In addition, they have also seized over 830,000 ETH, 1.4 million LTC, 27 million EOS, 74,000 DASH, 487 million XRP, 6 billion DOGE, 79,000 BCH, and 213,000 USDT.
The PlusToken Ponzi scheme, which was first ruled on by a district court in China's Jiangsu province this September, reportedly began in May 2018. The scheme advertised a non-existent crypto trading platform, and promised users attractive payouts in exchange for deposits of at least $500 worth of crypto assets. The scheme raked not only raked in 1% of the total Bitcoin supply, but 0.73% of total ETH, and 5% of all DODGE in circulation, too.
This is massive news. The amounts seized by the Chinese police:
- 194,775 BTC (1% of circulating supply)
- 833,083 ETH (0.73% of circulating supply)
- 1.4 million LTC
- 27.6 million EOS
- 74,167 DASH
- 487 million XRP
- 6 billion DOGE
- 79,581 BCH
- 213,724 USDT https://t.co/Fp79lyden4— Larry Cermak (@lawmaster) November 27, 2020
The scheme had proven to be immensely lucrative, even during the lowest downturn in crypto prices. Between May 1, 2018, and June 27, 2019, these assets were reported to be worth $2.2 billion. Now, they are worth over $11 billion.
What’s more, the scheme is said to have exploited over two million people.
To date, a total of 15 people have been convicted. The sentences issued by the Chinese court range from two to 11 years in prison, with fines ranging between $100,000 to $1 million. One of these individuals had reportedly already successfully laundered $22 million worth of cryptocurrency into Chinese yuan.
Libra, the digital currency project spearheaded by social media giant Facebook, is ready for a launch early next year, as per a report on financial publication FT this morning. However, it’s not going to give Bitcoin a run for its money anytime soon. Three people involved in the project said the launch is a “limited” release, meaning a vastly downgraded version of the original Libra aspirations. Conceived in 2018, Libra was initially supposed to be an internationally-used and accepted coin back...
The full judgement also said that “the seized digital currencies will be processed pursuant to laws and the proceeds and gains will be forfeited to the national treasury.”
So not only does China control half of Bitcoin’s hash rate—it is now a big holder too.
Dogwifhat organizers have given up on their goal of advertising the prominent Solana meme coin on the Las Vegas Sphere, over a year after nearly $700,000 worth of crypto was raised for the campaign. This comes after the token’s official X account hinted in late January that the dog would appear on the exosphere in Q1 2025. Late Monday, pseudonymous organizer GamesMasterFlex, also known as Edward, took to X (formerly Twitter) to state that the push to put the pup on the Sphere has ended, and that...

In February, North Korean hackers broke headlines with what is now regarded as the largest single hack in crypto history. The Lazarus Group stole at least $1.4 billion from Bybit and later funneled those funds to crypto mixers. "Someone had pulled off the biggest hack in [crypto] history, and we had a front-row seat," Samczsun, Research Partner at Paradigm, recalled in a blog post. The researcher said they witnessed the theft in real-time and collaborated with Bybit to confirm the unauthorized a...
