A Maximum of 3 Trillion Won in Fraud, Approximately 50 Percent of Withdrawals Remit to Huobi, 13 Addresses Went Public

An abnormally high percentage of the withdrawals of PlusToken, which committed the largest exit fraud of 3 trillion won, have been sent to Huobi, creating a strong bias against China's virtual currency exchange, noted by blockchain data analyst Elementus. It also revealed 13 Bitcoin wallet addresses involved in the Ponzi scheme.

"This does not mean Huobi was any part of this," Elementus said.

According to the new analysis report, PlusToken stole more than $2 billion (3 trillion won) from 800,000 people and found the illicit funds the most frequently used exchange by Hong Kong's virtual currency exchange Huobi. It also includes the Upbit on South Korea's largest exchange.

Elementus still unveiled three BTC addresses that hold 8.2 million ETHs in Cold Wallet under the name of PlusToken.

In addition, the virtual currency exchange Huobi, ZB and Upbit have already revealed 10 addresses with highest transaction amount.

PlusToken's Ponzi scheme will be recorded as the biggest virtual currency scam in the past, surpassing BitConnect, OneCoin and MMM. Six suspects who participated in the scam were arrested in July but the main culprit in the scam has yet to be identified.
