Nine people were arrested in Taiwan on January 31, 2026, over a cryptocurrency fraud scheme that allegedly stole NT$5 billion from nearly 1,000 victims between 2022 and 2025.
Authorities say the suspects operated a fake lending website offering 3% to 7% monthly returns on investments in EGT and TBT cryptocurrencies, using seminars to lure victims.
A separate 2023 scam involving fake green energy and crypto investments is also under investigation, allegedly defrauding 316 people of NT$277.3 million.
The lead suspect, Chiu, was previously indicted but released on bail.
All nine suspects are currently held incommunicado as the case continues.
