PANews reported on May 1 that the first STRK virtual currency fraud case in Changzhi, Shanxi Province was successfully solved. Recently, the Cyber Security Brigade of Xiangyuan County Public Security Bureau received a report from a victim, claiming that the 40,000 STRK coins he obtained from the official STRK development program were claimed by others. With the support of the Cyber Security Brigade of Changzhi Public Security Bureau, the Xiangyuan Internet Police finally identified the suspect of the theft as Lan from Meizhou, Guangdong Province based on relevant clues. On April 25, the special police rushed to Guangdong Province to conduct investigations. After squatting and waiting, they successfully arrested the criminal suspect Lan and seized two mobile phones and a computer on the spot.
Upon investigation, it was found that the suspect Lan purchased numerous Tg accounts and discord accounts to generate a large number of STRK payment addresses. At the same time, he searched for relevant proofs of work submitted by others, impersonated others and submitted more than 40 ECMP forms. He falsely claimed 40,000 STRK coins belonging to the victim and transferred them to his own OKX wallet, and then exchanged them into 91,000 USDT coins (equivalent to more than 637,000 yuan) for his own use.
At present, criminal suspect Lan has been taken criminal coercive measures according to law, and the case is under further investigation.
