💥【Breaking News】Zhejiang Wealth Management's "State-Owned Brand" Suddenly Collapses! 20 billion funds locked, tens of thousands of families' retirement money hanging in the balance!

The once "zero default" myth now only remains with a cold sentence "system upgrade in progress" on the APP. The Zhejiang Jin Center, approved by the provincial government and supported by state-owned shareholders, created a "safe image" with a 500,000 verification threshold. Now, over 20 billion funds cannot be redeemed, leaving thousands of investors sleepless through the night.

🔄 "State-Owned Platform" Quietly Transformed

· Since 2023, old shareholders have gradually withdrawn, Hangzhou Mingzhi Investment (private) has become the major shareholder
· The shadow of the Xiangyuan system has emerged, quietly entering through control
· Trading qualifications were canceled in October 2024, and in January 2025, it was quietly renamed—most investors were unaware of all this

📉 Chain Reaction of Collapse is Already Present

· Stock prices of Xiangyuan system listed companies plummeted in a chain reaction (Haichang Ocean Park dropped 24% in 2 days)
· The platform and the listed company overnight "cut ties", claiming "no redemption obligation"
· Although Xiangyuan claims 60 billion in assets, many are actually unfinished real estate and hard-to-liquidate cultural tourism projects
⚠️ Three Blood and Tears Warnings
1️⃣ Don't blindly trust "state-owned background"—shareholder changes and qualification cancellations must be actively verified
2️⃣ Low returns ≠ low risk—be cautious of anything that avoids explaining underlying assets
3️⃣ High thresholds ≠ safety—500,000 verification has instead become a trust trap
🔍 Shaoxing has established a special task force to investigate, but time waits for no one. Those retirement funds and life-saving money invested are the lifelong savings of countless families.
Remember: There is no absolutely safe investment, only risks that have yet to be exposed.

🚫 Blockchain industry joins forces to resist SEC's new audit tracking rules 👥 The blockchain industry has been very busy recently, especially the DeFi Education Fund and the Blockchain Association, who jointly submitted a statement to the court to support a legal challenge to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) Comprehensive Audit Tracking (CAT) system. 🔍 The statement directly points out the privacy and security risks that the CAT system may bring to digital asset transactions, and believes that this product may infringe on financial privacy. This is not the first time they have spoken out on regulatory issues. They have also submitted briefs to remove airdrops from the SEC's securities classification. 📊 The CAT system has been in operation since April and is known as the largest government-authorized personal financial data collection project in U.S. history. Simply put, the SEC wants to create a super-large database to track all securities transactions in the U.S. market. 👀 But the problem is that SEC regulators and a large number of private staff can access this database without authorization or justification. This makes many people worry that this will infringe on our privacy? 📜 So, NCLA filed a lawsuit in April, arguing that the SEC had overstepped its authority by setting up the CAT system. Now, there are more than 50 amicus briefs supporting the lawsuit, showing widespread concerns about the system in the financial and cryptocurrency industries. 🔑 The statement mentioned that the CAT system is particularly dangerous to digital asset traders because it can cause personal identification information to be linked to blockchain wallet addresses, exposing users' transaction histories to unprecedented scrutiny. 💻 Laura Sanders of the Blockchain Association warned that CAT's comprehensive monitoring of personal financial data, including potentially sensitive blockchain transactions, could make intrusive government oversight the norm. 🔒 At the same time, the large amount of sensitive data stored in a single database would make CAT an attractive target for cyber hackers.

Musk and Trump: From Allies to the Twitter "Drama" of Mutual Attacks, Do You Really Understand It? Recently, the public dispute between billionaire Elon Musk and former U.S. President Donald Trump has attracted significant attention. This dispute began at the end of May when Musk repeatedly posted on social media, criticizing the "Big and Beautiful Act" supported by Trump. Musk considered the act "disgusting," filled with political donations, and warned that it could lead to a $2.5 trillion increase in the U.S. deficit. In response, Trump recently hit back on Truth Social, threatening to cancel government contracts with Tesla and SpaceX, and implied that Musk was "mentally unstable" and needed to exit politics. In reply, Musk hinted at Trump's relationship with the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and accused Trump of hiding key documents. Trump, on the other hand, privately mocked Musk as a "politically ignorant upstart" and rejected Musk's suggestion to ease technology restrictions on China. This war of words ultimately evolved into substantial commercial retaliation, with Musk announcing the withdrawal of $300 million in sponsorship for the Republican midterm elections and lowering the priority of Starlink services in Florida. It is worth noting that this is not the first public conflict between the two. As early as April, Trump's trade advisor Peter Navarro clashed with Musk, leading to a 15% drop in Tesla's stock price. This escalating billionaire showdown not only exposes the fragility of the U.S. political-business relationship but also raises new speculation about the upcoming election situation. As the conflict between the two public figures intensifies, people are curious and concerned about their future relationship and the potential impact on politics and the economy. Opinion: In this seemingly intense war of words, one cannot help but wonder whether this could be a carefully orchestrated hype by both sides? Aimed at creating panic through their influence on social media, forcing retail investors to sell off assets; Then, insiders may take the opportunity to accumulate shares at low prices, profiting when the market recovers. Therefore, investors maintaining rational judgment and adhering to long-term value investing is key to coping with market volatility. #马斯克 #特朗普 #投资者教育 #金融安全

⚠️ Cryptocurrency Fraud Alert: Nigeria Exposes Global Scam, 53 People Charged! Nigerian law enforcement recently dismantled a massive global cryptocurrency fraud syndicate in Lagos, marking the most significant crackdown on cryptocurrency fraud in West Africa this year! A total of 53 suspects from different countries were arrested, the majority of whom were Chinese nationals, along with individuals from the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Pakistan. Investigations revealed a vast financial network behind this syndicate, with seized assets valued at $200,000. They illegally transferred over $3 million through a company called "Cloud International Limited." Bank records show that from April to December 2024, they conducted transactions exceeding 2.26 billion Naira through a single bank account, a staggering figure! Law enforcement discovered an ultra-modern operational base on-site, confiscating a large number of computers, mobile phones, tablets, and over 500 Nigerian SIM cards, as well as several cars used for day-to-day operations. This indicates a large scale of their fraudulent activities, with victims spread across the globe. Even more outrageous, they impersonated others to commit fraud, such as a Chinese citizen posing as a 28-year-old American woman named "Lina" to deceive people. Moreover, they colluded with local cryptocurrency sellers to transfer funds through peer-to-peer transactions of USDT (Tether). Two suppliers (Chukwuemeka Okeke and Alhassan Aminu Garbo) admitted to facilitating $2.39 million in USDT transactions for them. The suspects currently face charges including cyber terrorism, impersonation, and identity theft. This case not only showcases the strength of African law enforcement but also exposes the international scope of criminal activities. For foreign cybercriminal groups aiming to use Africa as a safe haven for their crimes, this operation sends a clear warning. As cryptocurrency becomes more prevalent, Nigeria's measures may set a precedent for international cooperation in combating digital financial crimes. Everyone is urged to remain vigilant and avoid falling victim! 💬 Do you think the efforts to combat cross-border cryptocurrency fraud are sufficient? How can we better prevent such crimes in the future? Leave your comments and discuss below! #加密货币诈骗 #尼日利亚行动 #全球打击 #金融安全

🌐 The US banking industry is in turmoil again: sensitive data leaks have once again become the focus of public attention 🏦 Another big incident happened to the US bank! While the bankruptcy of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank has not yet been resolved, the US bank has revealed the problem of sensitive data leaks of nearly 11,000 customers, making the US bank and the country's economy once again the focus of public discussion. 📉 As the leader of the global economy, the stability of the US financial institutions is crucial. However, a series of bank bankruptcies in 2023 and the collapse of cryptocurrency exchanges such as FTX have exposed the fragility of the financial system. 🔒 The bank data leak has aroused public concerns about privacy protection and also shaken trust in the US financial system. 🕰️ Although the data leaks of the two major US banks, TD Bank and Summit National Bank, were only recently exposed, the problem has actually been lurking for months. This slow response can't help but make people doubt the vigilance and transparency of banks! 👥 According to the report, Summit National Bank may have leaked the information of 10,912 customers due to internal staff, which probably occurred between May 13 and 16. TD Bank also discovered a data leak in July, which is expected to affect 41 people. A total of 10,953 customers' information was leaked. This problem is not only a security vulnerability at the technical level, but also a severe test of the bank's internal management and employee ethics. 💼 In response to this leak, the bank had to prepare up to $3 billion in compensation. This is not only a compensation for customers, but also a wake-up call for the entire financial industry. 🤝 At the same time, in this crisis, how to rebuild customer trust, how to strengthen internal supervision, and prevent similar incidents from happening again are issues that banks need to think deeply about. At the same time, this is also a big test for the entire financial industry regulatory system. 🌟 Even Robert Kiyosaki, the author of "Rich Dad Poor Dad", recommended buying Bitcoin after examining the status of American banks and debt problems. This is not only a reflection on traditional finance, but also an exploration of future financial models. In this unpredictable era, how to safely protect assets and information is a question that each of us needs to think deeply about! #美国银行数据泄露 #金融安全 #内部监管 #信任危机

Thai bank account freeze: a wake-up call for a digital cage, or a necessary evil in the fight against crime? In-depth analysis! 🚨 The large-scale freezing of bank accounts in Thailand has caused a stir in the crypto community. Crypto fundamentalists regard it as irrefutable evidence, proclaiming that "decentralization is the only way out," but as a rigorous scholar, I hope to dissect the complexity of this event from deeper data and facts. Is this a warning of centralized financial tyranny or a necessary measure to combat financial crime? 🤔 Undeniably, the fear of personal assets being arbitrarily seized by centralized institutions is real, which is one of the core narratives of decentralized assets like Bitcoin. We see that the Dubai court even froze $456 million worth of TUSD reserves, and Sun Yuchen personally exposed the dark side of the custodians, all pointing to the potential risks of centralized institutions. However, we cannot ignore that these actions are often linked to global issues such as anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing. So, the question arises: can cryptocurrency really become a perfect safe haven? It also faces regulatory pressure and potential security vulnerabilities. If we attribute all problems to "centralization" while ignoring the more complex considerations of social governance and financial stability behind it, this is undoubtedly a form of "violent simplification." Do you think there is a balance between personal asset security and national financial regulation? What alarm has this incident in Thailand sounded for you?

📰 From bank executive to prisoner: Former Kansas CEO embezzled $47 million in cryptocurrency and spent 24 years in prison! 🎖️ Shan Hanes, a former Kansas bank executive, was sentenced to more than 24 years in federal prison for embezzling $47.1 million in a cryptocurrency fraud case and causing the collapse of Heartland Tri-State Bank (HTSB). 🕵️‍♂️ Court records show that between May and July 2023, Hanes illegally transferred $47.1 million from the bank to a cryptocurrency wallet through 11 unauthorized wire transfers.
