   Police Bust Large-Scale Virtual Currency Scam Operation, Arrest 14 Suspects

   The police in Qixia County, Taiyuan, Shanxi have dismantled a large-scale cross-provincial virtual currency scam operation and arrested 14 suspects.

They would manipulate data to create fake losses and force victims to sell their investments, ultimately stealing all their funds.

Over 50 computers, mobile phones, and vehicles used in the crime were seized.
