China has successfully extradited a suspect involved in a massive $14 billion cryptocurrency pyramid scheme from Thailand. The suspect, identified as Zhang, is accused of leading the MBI Group, which allegedly lured over 10 million investors with promises of high returns from 2012 until the present. According to China’s Ministry of Public Security, Zhang’s scheme required participants to pay fees ranging from 700 yuan ($98) to 245,000 yuan ($34,300) in exchange for platform membership through the issuance of virtual digital currency. The group reportedly accumulated over 100 billion yuan ($14 billion) in funds. This is the first such financial crime suspect to be extradited under the China-Thailand extradition treaty since it took effect in 1999.
