Vietnamese Police Arrest Five Cryptocurrency Scam Suspects Accused of Embezzling Around $530,000

2 hours ago

On January 18, Vietnamese police arrested five suspects accused of running a cryptocurrency scam ring targeting the Da Nang area. The suspects, based in Cambodia, operated the scheme by mimicking the Nasdaq exchange, defrauding victims of 1.4 billion Vietnamese dong (approximately $53,280). They used messaging apps Zalo and Telegram to create dozens of fake accounts, post fake trading activity, pose as investment experts to lure people into investing, and falsely report profits. After obtaining the funds, the group transferred them through multiple bank accounts before converting them into cryptocurrency to conceal their origin.

Analyst: Bitcoin Key Support at $81,700, Resistance Near $101,000

On January 18, CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost noted that Bitcoin’s next key hurdle is reclaiming the cost basis for early long-term holders (6–12 months), currently around $101,000. Long-term holders with 12–18 months of tenure have a cost basis of ~$81,700, acting as a critical support level. If Bitcoin falls into this range, these holders are likely to hold their positions. Investors who bought near Bitcoin’s January 2025 high are still holding their positions. On the upside, resistance sits around $114,650—tied to the cost basis of short-term holders (3–6 months). This group accumulated heavily near recent highs, so a return to this level could prompt some to sell at their breakeven point.
