According to U.S. prosecutors, a man named Chen Zhi once bragged about raking in $30 million every single day. Here's the catch: authorities paint a very different picture. They describe him as a suspected criminal kingpin with a past running internet cafes—someone who cleverly disguised himself as a legitimate business operator. The case highlights how some bad actors in the space manage to maintain a facade of legitimacy while operating in the shadows. It's a reminder of the risks lurking in the crypto ecosystem and the importance of due diligence when evaluating market participants.

Wow, 3 billion in one day? Listen to this outrageous scale... Turns out it's just a internet cafe owner behind it, hilarious.
These kinds of people are the most disgusting, superficially legitimate businesspeople who turn around and do financial scams. No wonder due diligence is so important.
Honestly, there are too many wolf in sheep's clothing in crypto, gotta keep your eyes open.
Another "legitimate businessman" crash site, truly incredible.
Seeing these cases every day has made me numb; the crypto world is just this chaotic.

Bro, this trick is really clever. From an internet cafe owner to a crypto big shot, just by changing aliases, he dares to boast about earning 30 million a day.

ngl, $30m daily claims are always red flags... technically speaking, anyone bragging that hard probably isn't trustless enough to touch. the internet cafe pivot to kingpin arc is *chef's kiss* classic obfuscation tbh

It's the same old trick again, the internet cafe owner turning into a big shot in the crypto circle...

People are always making up stories like this every day, can't tell if it's true or false for a moment

So the crypto world is just a big stage, you have to keep your eyes open

This case feels so familiar...

Bragging about earning 30 million a day, and now it has become evidence of a crime

Internet cafe → Crypto guru, this turnaround is a perfect scam tutorial

Damn it, it's the same old story. Every day they talk about due diligence and risk warnings. Why the hell wasn't I this clear-headed when I entered?
