Hong Kong police disclose "AI quantitative guaranteed profit" virtual currency scam, victims lose 7.7 million HKD

770 mil HKD, less than one million USD, but it involves 17 transfers, each one a cut.
"AI quantitative trading" "stable high returns" — these words together are basically equivalent to "come and give money."
The brilliance of the scam never lies in technical content, but in rhythm control:
First stage: fish farming.
Proactively contact on Telegram, recommend "AI algorithms" to help you trade. The first few small test trades, give a little sweetness, make you believe the system is real.
Second stage: establish "trust".
Repeatedly emphasize professional terms like "quantitative," "algorithm," "hedging," making you feel you've encountered a professional.
Before fully trusting, victims transfer 17 times — this is not impulsive, but a "slow boiling" process.
Third stage: harvest.
When withdrawal is refused, only then realize you have been talking to a script from start to finish.
Hong Kong police summarized it well — "high return, low risk, low threshold" form an impossible triangle.
This triangle is an open trap in the crypto world, and anyone who tells you all three are possible should understand they are lying, just not caught yet.
770 million HKD, for scammers, is "testing the waters"; for victims, it could be their entire savings.
The so-called "AI quantitative guaranteed profit" translates to:
Artificial Intelligence, Actually Invisible. 人工智能，实际上是隐形骗术。
