Elderly Hong Kong resident loses over HK$13 million in crypto scam

  • Losses exceeded HK$13 million
  • Scammers used a fake app showing fictitious profits
  • More than 40 fraud cases were recorded in Hong Kong in a week
  • Combined losses in these cases totaled about HK$50 million
Why it matters: Rising crypto fraud undermines trust in the industry and increases pressure on regulators in Asia.
