Odaily Planet Daily reported that the Hong Kong police had previously arrested 8 people involved in the JPEX case and were released on bail pending investigation on the evening of September 19, but they must report to the police in mid-October.
At about 9 p.m., Yumei, the girlfriend of one of the arrested KOL Lin Zuo, appeared at the Central District Police Station holding a briefcase. At nearly 10 p.m., Yumei left the front door of the police station and did not answer reporters' questions. Some media captured Lin Zuo leaving at the back door of the police station at the same time. (Ming Pao)
According to previous news, Hong Kong police arrested JPEX promotion internet celebrity Lin Zuo on September 18, which may be related to the crisis of the crypto exchange JPEX. The police searched Lin Zuo’s office in the Entertainment District in Central. The case is now being handed over to the Commercial Crime Bureau for follow-up.
After JPEX was named by the Hong Kong Securities Regulatory Commission, new withdrawal restrictions were added. Investors could only withdraw a maximum of 1,000 USDT, and the handling fee was once as high as 999 USDT. After JPEX launched the measures, Lin Zuo once said that he had suffered "heavy losses" and said he would help follow up on the incident.
