🚨 Former Hong Kong Banker Jailed Over $1.6B Fraud and Crypto Bribes
Lam Chun-yin, a 32-year-old former manager at China Construction Bank (Asia), has been sentenced to four years in prison. He pleaded guilty to falsely authenticating letters of credit totaling over $1.6 billion.
Investigations revealed that Lam accepted bribes worth $470,000 paid in cryptocurrency to facilitate the massive fraud. The court has ordered him to pay back the full amount as restitution.

🚨 DOJ Extradites Chinese National in $37M Crypto Laundering Case
Chinese national Zheng Zhao, 44, has been extradited from the Netherlands to the United States. He is accused of laundering $36.9 million stolen from 174 American victims through an international fraud network operating from scam centers in Cambodia.
Prosecutors allege the funds were moved from US bank accounts to Deltec Bank in the Bahamas. The money was then converted into Tether (USDT) via a shell company called Axis Digital Limited before being transferred to crypto wallets controlled by the criminal network.
Zhao appeared in a Los Angeles federal court on Oct 23 and faces up to 20 years in prison for conspiracy to commit money laundering. Eight other participants have already pleaded guilty in connection with the scheme, which used fake trading platforms to lure victims.
