Corporate executives in Tokyo, who were arrested for running the so-called cryptocurrency exchange business without registration in the country, were re-arrested for deceiving another legitimate crypto asset from a customer.
It is believed that he had obtained the crypto assets by soliciting investment in the crypto assets he had issued, exchanging them for a total of about 2 billion yen worth of legitimate crypto assets, saying that the price would rise in the future.
Six men and women were re-arrested, including Daiki Yamada (26), a corporate officer in Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo.
According to the Osaka Prefectural Police Department, about cryptographic assets called "Ark Cash" that they issued themselves, they solicited investment by saying, "The price will increase in the future because it is issued by an overseas business operator. I am also investing." There is a suspicion of fraud for having five men in Tokyo exchange for another legitimate crypto asset worth about 40 million yen and deceive them.
