According to the department, the conspirators are being charged with money laundering and fraud, the losses from which amounted to over 340 million Taiwan dollars, the equivalent of nearly $10.7 million at the time of writing.
Pan was one of the organizers of the fraudulent Alfred Wallet service and the associated A+Card cryptocurrency card. After depositing funds, deceived investors could not withdraw them. The source says all assets were blocked in users’ internal accounts, and at least 160 people became victims of the scam.
A Taiwanese court ordered the confiscation of the defendant’s property. In response, representatives of Ace Exchange rejected all accusations of illegal transactions, claiming Pan is not a current company employee and his activities unrelated to the platform’s operation.

In early January, Pan was <a href="https://crypto.news/14-arrested-in-6-4m-taiwan-crypto-exchange-conspiracy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">arrested</a> along with 13 other suspects for his alleged role in a cryptocurrency scam that had been perpetuated over three years.
