Suspected Hong Kong criminal group came to Taiwan to commit fraud
According to the investigation, the name of the physical store seems to be "CoinFast". The Facebook fan page was only established in January this year but has basically not been updated. Currently, the IG has also been closed. The mobile zone reminds you to pay careful attention.
This exchange is located in the famous Lion Forest Building in Ximending, and nearby stores revealed that there are many unknown short-term tenants. In this regard, the police suspected that behind the scenes was a Hong Kong criminal group that set up fake bases across the sea to defraud virtual currencies.
Although the Lion Forest Building has a management committee and security patrols, access is still relatively complicated, and short-selling companies or short-term companies are suspected to have set up bases here. Therefore, the police have expanded their investigation and strengthened patrols, hoping to prevent the business district from becoming a crime base.
