Jieyi Chen, Director of JP-EX Crypto Asset Platform PTY LTD (JPEX), has begun deregistration of the exchange in Australia amid regulatory challenges and accusations in Hong Kong.
While no official confirmation has been provided, the application supposedly states that all entity members agree with the move, as the company is no longer conducting business. Furthermore, it highlights that the Australian entity possesses assets below 1,000 with no liabilities.
The issues for JPEX began last week when the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) of Hong Kong issued a warning, revealing that the exchange had falsely claimed to have applied for a license with the regulator. The SFC also alleged that other license claims made by the exchange were untrue.
Hong Kong's financial market regulator is collaborating with local law enforcement to crack down on the exchange's allegedly dubious operations. Multiple arrests have been made, including influencers Joseph Lam Chok and Chan Wing-yee, who were promoting JPEX.
Reportedly, the JPEX fiasco is believed to be the largest case of financial fraud in the autonomous Chinese administrative region. The Hong Kong police have received complaints from 1,641 investors involving approximately HK$1.2 billion ($128 billion) in assets, reflecting the scale of the alleged fraud.
In response to the incident, JPEX raised its withdrawal fees to 999 USDT after offering a 30 percent yield on stablecoins to prevent customer withdrawals. Meanwhile, the Hong Kong police have called upon internet providers to block access to JPEX within their jurisdiction.
In an official blog post, the exchange expressed its frustration regarding the actions taken against its platform. JPEX accused the telecommunications service providers in Hong Kong of unfairly blocking their mobile application and official website and advised users to utilize virtual private networks (VPNs) to bypass access restrictions.
As JPEX faces uncertainty and regulatory scrutiny, the future of the exchange remains in question. The impact of the alleged financial fraud and subsequent actions taken by authorities will undoubtedly have far-reaching consequences for all parties involved.
