Plustoken Wallet Ponzi Scheme (Large-scale Cross-border Virtual Currency Scam)
The core logic is to disguise as a smart wallet, relying on high-interest deposits + referral rebates in a Ponzi scheme to raise money, with no actual profit support, relying on new funds to pay old returns.
It claims to be a multifunctional smart wallet, where depositing coins can enjoy high static returns (such as daily fixed rebates), and stable profits can also be obtained through "arbitrage" (buying low and selling high across platforms to earn the difference), confusing investors.
It sets up a multi-layered new user reward mechanism, allowing commissions for referring others to deposit, quickly attracting global users, covering over 100 countries and regions at its peak.
There are no real arbitrage businesses; returns rely entirely on new investors' funds. Once the fund pool breaks, the platform collapses directly, core members abscond with funds, involving an amount exceeding 40 billion yuan, and all virtual currencies deposited by a massive number of investors are completely unrecoverable.
