PANews reported on August 30th that, according to the Hong Kong Wen Wei Po, Inspector Tsang Kin-wah of the Central District's Technology and Financial Crime Unit revealed the crackdown on a "safe-dealer" stablecoin scam. A 77-year-old woman brought HK$3 million in cash to a virtual currency exchange shop on Sharp Bay Street in Sheung Wan to purchase stablecoins, where she was defrauded of her money using a fake safe. Using footage from Project Sharp Eyes and conducting an in-depth investigation and intelligence analysis, Hong Kong police arrested three male and female scammers within three days of the incident. They are provisionally charged with obtaining property by deception. The police are currently searching for other suspects and the remaining stolen funds, and further arrests are not ruled out.

Notably, her comment comes as experts argue for both sides on why the Fed should make a 25 bps cut or…
