Debiex Charged with $2.3 Million Romance Fraud by CFTC

Debiex Charged with .3 Million Romance Fraud by CFTC

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has indicted cryptocurrency exchange Debiex on charges of misappropriating $2.3 million through a romance scam. The CFTC’s complaint, filed in U.S. District Court in Arizona, accuses Debiex and an individual, Zhāng Céng Yáng, of engaging in a fraudulent practice known as “pig slaughter” to defraud investors.

According to the CFTC, as of March 2022, executives and/or managers of Debiex allegedly fostered friendly or romantic relationships with potential customers. They reportedly conveyed lies to gain the trust of these individuals and then encouraged them to open and fund trading accounts on Debiex. This plan is designed to ensure that customers’ funds will be invested in cryptocurrencies. But the CFTC alleges that these funds were diverted for personal gain.

Despite identifying just five victims over two years, regulators allege more than $2 million was stolen through the scheme. This case highlights the growing trend of romance scams in the cryptocurrency sector, where scammers leverage the lure of digital assets to financially exploit victims. These scams are on the rise, and reported losses due to cryptocurrency-related scams have increased significantly in the United States. In 2022 alone, over 46,000 people reported losing money to cryptocurrency-related scams, a whopping 183% increase from $907 million in 2021 to $2.57 billion in 2022.

This incident is not something that only happens in the cryptocurrency exchange world. In May 2023, Binance faced allegations from a Texas woman who claimed she was scammed out of $8 million by a man she met on Tinder. She argued that the woman should be held liable because Binance provided exchange services to her scammers, but a US judge later ruled that there was no evidence that Binance was involved in the theft.

The Debiex case serves as a warning to individuals participating in cryptocurrency platforms, especially as we approach Valentine’s Day, when romance scams typically intensify. The CFTC’s action against Debiex highlights the need for vigilance in the digital asset space, where the convergence of online dating and investing can create opportunities for fraud.
