After the China Securities Regulatory Commission issued a warning to the cryptocurrency trading platform JPEX, many users reported that they were unable to withdraw funds. However, it has been proven that since the beginning of this year, users from mainland China and Taiwan have reported difficulties in withdrawing funds, including Mr. Yu, a JPEX user from Shenzhen who has been using the platform for over a year.

In an interview, Mr. Yu said that in July of this year, a JPEX customer service representative invited him to go to Hong Kong and informed him that he could withdraw approximately 1.56 million Hong Kong dollars worth of virtual assets by signing a letter in person. However, when he arrived in Sheung Shui and contacted the staff member, he was attacked by several people who rushed out of a seven-person car.

The police said they are looking for four people, including an investment company manager and three men in black, and are still investigating the cause of the incident. They have also urged victims of JPEX to report the case online.
