Justin Sun Establishes Businesses in Hong Kong Under Caribbean Identity, Huobi Ownership at Arm's Length

Justin Sun, who no longer holds Chinese citizenship, has been setting up businesses in Hong Kong under his identity from St. Kitts and Nevis, while keeping his ownership of Huobi at a distance. He previously used his Chinese passport to establish companies, but has since relied on his Caribbean identity.

He has recently established companies such as 'Love Letters Limited,' 'Objectivists Limited,' and 'Only Fountainhead Limited,' but their purpose is unclear. The former founders of Huobi are threatening legal action against the Sun-controlled entity, claiming that the continued use of the name violates an agreement made when it was purchased from them.

  • Hong Kong Customs cracked a HK$1.8 billion money laundering case involving a virtual currency trading platform

    Hong Kong Customs has reported a successful crackdown on a major money laundering case, involving a staggering HKD 1.8 billion. According to preliminary investigations, a criminal group consisting of three individuals processed over 1,000 suspicious transactions between June 2021 and July 2022 through the establishment of multiple shell companies and bank accounts, including a significant amount of suspicious fund transfers from virtual currency trading platforms. This indicates that the criminals tried to launder their illegal proceeds by taking advantage of the anonymity of virtual currencies. Currently, Customs has arrested three key members of the criminal group, seized the assets of the involved companies, and confiscated a large number of criminal tools, including mobile phones, company seals, and bank cards. The case is still under further investigation, and more suspects may be arrested. This case once again sounds the alarm, reminding the virtual currency industry to increase vigilance and strictly comply with anti-money laundering regulations.
