Recently, Guizhou Qiannan region's cyber police and economic investigation departments jointly launched an operation and successfully cracked a large-scale virtual currency network pyramid scheme case under the framework of "Clean Network—2025." Currently, 15 suspects involved in the case have been arrested.

This case once again confirms that the virtual currency field remains a high-risk area for pyramid schemes. Criminals exploit the anonymity and cross-border features of cryptocurrencies by designing elaborate pyramid schemes to attract participants, forming multi-level distribution structures. The frequent exposure of such cases serves as a reminder for investors to enhance their risk awareness and carefully verify the authenticity and legality of virtual currency projects.

Here they come again, pyramid schemes are still using the crypto world to scam people. This trick is really everywhere. That's why I don't touch projects I don't understand; there are too many pitfalls. 15 caught, and there are more not caught yet, just a drizzle.

Here it comes again, every time it's the Ponzi scheme being shut down --- When will the tricks of mlm coins finally disappear --- Police officers, thank you for your hard work. These scammers are really good at making things up --- 15 people, what about the lower-level victims, how will they be compensated --- The words "anonymous" and "cross-border" should be directly passed on all projects --- My friend is still playing some coin, should I stop him? This matter is too frustrating --- Another virtual currency combined with multi-level marketing, this combo is incredible. Who would dare to touch it --- I feel like I see this kind of news every month, it's really outrageous --- I just want to ask, can investors in these schemes recover their losses? --- Guizhou is moving quickly, what about other places

Here we go again with the money-grabbing schemes. These days, virtual currencies are really a minefield. --- Ponzi schemes disguised under different banners; in essence, it's still the same old trick. --- Looks like I need to be more cautious; not all coins are worth touching. --- 15 caught? Feels like just the tip of the iceberg. --- High anonymity makes it easy to be exploited; this is a common problem. --- Another "dream of wealth" shattered. How many people need to be trapped before they wake up? --- How are there still so many people falling for it? The tricks are so obvious.

Another pyramid scheme exploiting investors; these kinds of projects should have been eradicated long ago.
