Nietzsche once said: In fact, people are like trees, The more they long for the sunlight above, The more their roots must reach into the dark ground below. Time brings you hardships, but also helps you grow. Be optimistic and open-minded, strive to overcome. Those who plant trees must cultivate their roots, Those who cultivate virtue must nurture their hearts.
The PlusToken wallet pyramid scheme case is the first major transnational network pyramid scheme in China using Bitcoin and other digital currencies as a trading medium.
In May 2018, Chen and others built the PlusToken platform and developed related applications, deliberately packaging the platform's image—hiring foreign students to impersonate the founders, creating the illusion of an 'international platform', while also leveraging the 'blockchain' gimmick, falsely claiming that one could achieve appreciation through intelligent arbitrage with virtual currencies.
The platform set three types of rewards—static, dynamic, and executive profits—to attract and bind investors. Static returns were based on the amount invested, promising a rebate of 6%-18% per month; dynamic returns were obtained through recruiting others, earning 100% of the static returns from the first level downline and 10% from the static returns of the second to tenth level downlines; in addition, members were categorized into five levels according to the number of downlines developed and funds, with different levels eligible for corresponding executive commission rewards. Investors were required to pay over 500 US dollars in mainstream virtual currencies to join, with rebates settled in Plus coins, which were created by the platform and have no actual value.
The platform swept across over 100 countries and regions in just over a year through online promotion and offline promotional meetings, developing over 2 million members, with hierarchical relationships reaching over 3,000 levels. The total amount of virtual currencies collected, converted to RMB at the time of the incident, exceeded 50 billion yuan, most of which was used for rebates and lavish spending by gang members.
In 2019, the platform collapsed due to a lack of substantial operational support, the funding chain became unsustainable, and withdrawals required manual review, gradually becoming impossible to cash out. After Jiangsu Yancheng police discovered clues at the beginning of the year, they established a special investigation team, and in June of the same year, apprehended 27 main overseas suspects in multiple countries, followed by the arrest of 82 key members in 2020.
The court sentenced Chen and 15 other defendants to prison terms ranging from 2 to 11 years for organizing and leading pyramid scheme activities, with the principal offender Chen sentenced to 11 years and fined 6 million yuan. After the incident, the police seized a large amount of Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other virtual currencies, with some converted into cash as restitution, although many investors' losses have not been fully recovered.

#Wab3 What content should we focus on in Defi? Judging whether it has more participation value! Looking back at the last discussion on Swap, you can see a lot of information: For example: Is there a 🔒 pool? What is the 🔒 method? Why can it be unsecured? Has the developer's permissions been discarded? Is there content shown from security tests? Is there a possibility of continuous thickening in circulation and pool depth? When it goes live, look at the 15-minute candlestick chart, the "one pillar supporting the sky" is highly likely to be the shape of early participants obtaining low-priced chips...
What are we discussing this time regarding the commercial logic of Defi? There are countless ways to play in the Defi field, with many options; those who explain it to you all say: how amazing + classy! How to make money? Let’s calculate the yield, feeling like you are the next treasure master, very satisfying! That feeling of about to become wealthy is exhilarating! Thus, successfully becoming that piece of 🥩! This is happening every day... So how to reduce the probability of becoming that piece of 🥩? I’ll tell you what I know! (I estimate I might get flamed 😜) Look at the backend operation rules and business models; generally speaking, it revolves around three dimensions, and even the worst can reach 70%. 1. Is the business balance done well? The balance of participation, chips obtained more fairly; if chips are too concentrated, do you understand society?... 2. Look at the business cycle, the back and forth cycle, it’s not about dragging people in front; sustainability is very important, otherwise, it’s like having long legs, but they can’t compete with the one who creates 🦵. 3. How does the business break the circle? The ability to form a natural consensus is the greatest breakthrough. 4. Look for any business traps, as the models of Defi are all designed; it depends on where the designer stands, if the purpose is not so pure, then traps are inevitable!
Perhaps these may sound hollow, specific matters may just be cases; just look at the issues neutrally! In everything, there are people making money... Trade-offs are personal preferences!
