Hong Kong busts crypto scam that used AI deepfakes to create ‘superior women’

The scam saw fraudsters in Hong Kong use AI tech to swap their faces with those of beautiful women to get victims to invest in crypto.

Hong Kong police say alleged scammers swapped 11K fake notes for USDT

Hong Kong police arrested three individuals accused of stealing HK$3.11 million (~$400,000) worth of Tether using fake banknotes.

WorldCoin and its iris-scanning orbs are set to be kicked out of Hong Kong after being found to violate city privacy laws by a data watchdog.

The father-son duo reportedly owned the car linked to the kidnapping of a crypto investor whom the father invested crypto with.

In a statement, Hong Kong regulators said, “no entity in the Bybit group is registered to conduct any ‘regulated activity’ in Hong Kong.”
