Vietnam police bust $532,000 crypto scam imitating Nasdaq
They were arrested for using computer networks, telecommunications networks, and electronic means to appropriate property, police said on Saturday.
They include Nguyen Van Chung, 31, Nguyen Duc Long, 26, Ong Khac Minh, 26, Ta Van Ba, 37, Cao Ba Nam Viet, 35, Vu Tri Huy, 31, and Nguyen Anh Do, 27, all residents of the northern province of Bac Ninh.
Investigators uncovered the case after a 36-year-old woman in Da Nang’s An Khe Ward, along with several others, reported being scammed while investing in cryptocurrency on a trading platform that calls itself Nasdaq.
Nasdaq is the world’s second-largest stock exchange, based in the U.S., and is known for listing tech giants like Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Meta and Tesla.
