One suspect, surnamed Liu, was released on bail, while another, surnamed Niu, was released after questioning.<\/p>\n<p>JPEX, which ventured into promoting cryptocurrency-related products and soliciting investments back in June, has faced a growing list of allegations and legal actions.<\/p>\n<p>Even Nine Chen, a well-known Taiwanese singer and former brand ambassador for JPEX in Taiwan, has been brought into the investigation as a witness. If his involvement is deemed substantial, he may be summoned as a defendant in a lawsuit.<\/p>\n<p>The JPEX scandal is estimated to be over $213 million.<\/p>\n<h2>JPEX Faces Several Lawsuits After Alleged Fraud<\/h2>\n<p><span class=\"replacer\"><\/span><br \/>The extent and scale of JPEX\u2019s operations in Taiwan remain somewhat shrouded in mystery, but it is evident that the ongoing investigation is attracting the attention of numerous individuals who claim to be affected by the exchange\u2019s activities. More than ten victims have already initiated lawsuits in connection with the case.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier, Taiwan introduced anti-money laundering regulations in July 2021, requiring compliance by such entities. However, JPEX has not registered with the Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) for anti-money laundering compliance.<\/p>\n<p>Taiwan also introduced stricter regulations for foreign crypto exchanges.<\/p>\n<p>As reported earlier, Hong Kong authorities arrested at least 11 people associated with JPEX\u2019s alleged fraudulent activities. In addition to arrests, the Hong Kong financial regulator and police took measures to block JPEX\u2019s mobile app and website.<\/p>\n<div class=\"newsletter home-newsletter single\">\n<div
