As a researcher with experience in the field of financial regulation, I find the recent warning issued by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) regarding the suspicious crypto scheme disguising itself as a regulated exchange, “Kucoin,” to be of great concern. The fact that this platform has gone as far as to produce fake documents bearing HKMA’s approval is a clear indication of the sophistication and danger posed by such fraudulent activities.
Hong Kong has issued a caution to the general population about a questionable cryptocurrency operation masquerading as a legitimate exchange.
As a researcher, I’d like to share that on Friday, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) issued a warning regarding a suspicious platform called “Kucoin.” This platform has been deceitfully claiming to be licensed by the HKMA. To add insult to injury, they even fabricated documents purporting to have HKMA’s approval. Please exercise caution when dealing with this platform.
Unregulated trading platforms have reportedly been freezing user accounts and requesting payment from victims under the guise of processing fees to unlock the frozen accounts. However, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority wants to make it clear that they are not associated with these activities.
The meaning of the HKMA’s statement regarding KuCoin is ambiguous, as KuCoin has withdrawn their application for a Virtual Asset Trading Platform License in Hong Kong. At present, KuCoin has yet to issue a public response about this situation.
“I’d like to make it clear that the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) has no affiliation whatsoever with the fraudulent website and platform mentioned above. Furthermore, we want to remind everyone that the HKMA does not reach out to individuals about their personal financial matters. Thus, I urge anyone who may have fallen victim to this scam not to comply with any ransom demands.”
A legal action has been initiated by the U.S. Department of Justice against the creators of the genuine KuCoin cryptocurrency exchange, who are accused of infringing upon the Bank Secrecy Act.
As a responsible crypto investor, I always keep in mind that the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) maintains a strict policy against approaching individuals with personal financial concerns as part of their fraud prevention measures.
