There is so many different incotrect versions of this story is embarrassing to even read them never mind publish them, it's just all sensationalist clickbait with the most exaggerated numbers they can think off and buzzwords like Bitcoin thrown in to make it more interesting than the typical scaam involving money

These people should be fired for such sloppy journalism
3 million or 387 million or 400 million or 3.1 billion hk as if  the details don't matter

I will not be clicking on another update of this "news"  even though I have full ad blockers enabled and they will not make anything from me......

In fact, in this case you can replace bitcoin by anything else it would be exactly the same!
No blame for bitcoin, just blame those silly investor who get fooled again!

there was no bitcoins ,3000 people bought noin existant  bitcoins WITH CASH   as far as i can gather at a vastly reduced price
then when they went to withdraw them after a few months the site naturally collapsed since it was built on smoke and mirrors like all ponzis are

who really expected to make hundreds of % in profit in a mere 3 months or so ? if that were even possible the ponzi owner would have just invested his own money

its like these sites that offer to double your btc in 24/48 hrs etc

if they could really do that ,they would just be doing it instead of hanging out looking for fools on forums to "invest"

just one word

PONZI!!!

This is fake news. Everyone in internet blame bitcoin for another "mtgox" case. This new is fake! This company has nothing to do with bitcoin and was only a ponzi that has steal only fiat money for investors and that money was not even 350 million dollar. There is no any source about how many was.
Is a shame for new site like Coindesk to have this fake number and news in their front page. I think the propose for all that negative fake news is the pressure of bitcoin price.

Can anyone find the official Hong Kong Monetary Authority statement for bitcoin in their official site?

http://www.hkma.gov.hk/eng/key-information/press-releases/2015/20150210-4.shtml

i see and this news all over the internet but i cant find a link to their official statement. Is common official statements to be public but i cant find any link to that in their official site.

all this negative recent news that blame so easy bitcoin imo is an inside job from well known bitcoin investors./ The real target is the next big batch of 50.000 bitcoins from silk road.

Even it is a Investment/Ponzi,  All investments made by BTC - So, only BTC Users are LOOSE their money.

No i dont do business with chinese exchanges because its harder to deal with than western exchanges, they seem less trustable to me from past bitcoin events in comparison to a regulated exchange in the west.

Adding to the mystery are reports the company never operated as a genuine bitcoin business at all. Testimonies from customers describe an operation more like a Ponzi scheme that used the veneer of bitcoin trading as its lure.

One local woman was quoted as saying:

    "We were told by those at higher tiers [of the scheme] that we can get our money back if we find more new clients."

Adding to the business' pyramid-like feel were promises of cash prizes or Mercedes-Benz cars if customers could recruit new investors, said a report in Hong Kong's South China Morning Post.




i think thats a good lesson for you  Smiley
