According to the Supreme Prosecutor's Office press release, the chief investigator of blockchain financial crimes at the Taiwanese cryptocurrency exchange XREX tragically died in a car accident that occurred on Thursday morning after taking a bus back to the north following an inquiry in Taichung on Wednesday. The doubts involved in this case have raised concerns. The Supreme Prosecutor's Office has instructed the Hsinchu District Prosecutor's Office to establish a special investigation team to investigate the cause of the accident and clarify the case.
According to reports from the Central News Agency, on the same day the accident occurred, another traffic accident happened about 800 meters away on the same road, resulting in 1 death and 3 injuries. The injured included Hao Guangmin, a former member of the Four Seas Gang who was involved in inciting a shooting against the chairman Wu. Although the highway police initially assessed that the two incidents should have no direct causal relationship, the accident raised many concerns from the public due to the fact that the investigator Chen had previously assisted the police in clarifying creative private fund flows and was involved in the underground remittance flow related to the person in charge of the 88 Club, Guo Zhemin.
The Supreme Prosecutor's Office pointed out in a press release that the Chief Prosecutor Xing has compiled relevant opinions from the public and forwarded them to the Hsinchu District Prosecutor's Office in Taiwan this morning, requesting that the office appoint prosecutors to form a special investigation team to investigate the cause of the traffic accident, clarify relevant concerns, and expedite the reporting of the investigation results to the Taiwan High Prosecutor's Office and the Supreme Prosecutor's Office.
The deceased investigator Chen had assisted the Criminal Investigation Bureau's virtual currency seizure task force in cracking multiple investment fraud cases. According to a press release from the Criminal Investigation Bureau, by the end of November, a total of 60 investment fraud cases had been completed, and the bureau had frozen and seized illegal proceeds of nearly 10 billion New Taiwan Dollars from criminal groups. Investigator Chen provided technical guidance for the task force with his professional knowledge and played a key role in the process.
