ZachXBT just dropped a major investigation. Here's what every retail investor needs to know 👇
The Scam: DSJ Exchange + BG Wealth Sharing Another Chinese-run Ponzi targeting unsophisticated retail investors collapsed last week. Total damage: $150M+ (likely much higher).
The setup was textbook: → Fake trading platform (DSJ) → Fake investment group (BG) → Fake CEO named "Stephen Beard" → Promised 1.3% – 2.6% daily returns → Referral commissions and rank-based bonuses (classic MLM structure) → Recruitment ran through BonChat, a Hong Kong messaging app → Domains and hot wallets rotated constantly to dodge law enforcement
Operating since 2025. Thirteen regulators across five continents had already issued public fraud warnings.
The Exit Scam On May 2, "Stephen Beard" posted a video claiming DSJ was about to IPO and demanded a 12% "tax" on user balances for "regulatory compliance."
Withdrawals were already disabled.
This is the oldest trick in the book. When a platform suddenly demands extra fees to release your funds, your funds are already gone.
The Laundering Trail From April 27 – May 3, illicit actors moved $92M+ across chains using: → Tokenlon swaps → Bridging via Bridgers, Butter Network, USDT0 → Wrapping/unwrapping USDD → Consolidation across hundreds of addresses → Final deposits to Cobo ($63M) and OKX ($30M)
The Win: $41.5M+ Frozen ZachXBT led an initiative with Tether, Binance Security, OKX, and US law enforcement.
Results: → $38.4M frozen by Tether (May 4) → $3.1M+ frozen at other services/exchanges → US law enforcement seized the BG domain on April 23
Timing analysis on Solana/Tron deposits to Binance cracked the case open.
Lessons For The CryptoPatel Family 1️⃣ Daily returns of 1-2% are mathematically impossible long-term. No legitimate trading strategy delivers this. Period.
2️⃣ Referral bonuses + rank systems = MLM Ponzi. If recruitment pays more than the actual product, run.
3️⃣ A platform asking you to pay tax/fees to withdraw YOUR money is already a scam. Legitimate exchanges deduct fees from withdrawals, never demand upfront payments.
4️⃣ Telegram, BonChat, WhatsApp "signal groups" with mystery CEOs are red flags. Real platforms have verifiable teams, audited contracts, and regulatory filings.
5️⃣ Many victims are still in denial. That's how psychological these scams are. If you know someone in DSJ/BG, send them this thread.
If You Were Affected ➡️ File a police report in your jurisdiction ➡️ US victims: report to ic3.gov ➡️ Document everything (wallet addresses, transactions, chats)
Massive respect to @ZachXBT for the investigation, and to Tether, Binance, OKX teams for acting fast.
Retail protection is everything. Share this so fewer people fall victim to the next one.

The Bull Case: → 923M tokens burned (May 1) → 1B+ LUNC removed recently → 13-Month high at $0.00009724 → 284% Up within Last 6 Months → Market cap back above $530M → Network upgrade vote on May 6
TA: Currently Trading Near $0.0001 Which is 4 Years Strong Channel Resistance Level so This will Decide Next move. If Rejected from $0.0001 Resistance level then High Chances to drop 40%-50% Downside.
The Reality Check: → Supply still 6.46 TRILLION → Burn rate vs supply = drop in ocean → "Major deal" rumors unverified → Retail FOMO building fast
Pumps on burns are short-term catalysts. Sustainable price action needs real utility and adoption.
