According to the official website of the Vietnamese Ministry of Public Security, the police in Vietnam's Tongna Province have jointly cracked a cryptocurrency fraud case called Matrix Chain, involving a total amount of 394.2 million USDT (approximately 10 trillion Vietnamese dong), and arrested 5 main suspects. The gang is suspected of setting up the virtual currency platform "Matrix Chain (MTC)" to carry out large-scale fraud. Since 2023, the gang has lured over 138000 accounts into investing through multi-level pyramid schemes and false promises, and transferred funds through the SafePal wallet, illegally profiting and purchasing multiple properties. The main culprit Nguyen Quoc Hung once spent $20000 to commission anonymous developers to build a platform and manipulate 100 million MTC tokens to manipulate coin prices and commit fraud.
