It is reported that about 20,000 investors in China invested in foreign exchange through an API company claiming to be from Switzerland. According to it, the monthly investment income can reach 5% and the annual income can reach 60%. However, after investing tens of thousands to tens of millions of yuan, they were told that due to "hacker attacks", the book funds on 20 15 10/7 were all negative. Before the incident, all the executives of API companies and distribution agents in various regions had left the country, and the investors were cheated for a total of more than 8.4 billion yuan.
According to a CCTV reporter's investigation, on June 6, 2065438+2005+65438, the Swiss Monetary Authority issued a statement, issuing a public warning to the information provided by Alpine Asset Management Trust Company and API Excellence Swiss Trust Company. Neither of these companies has been approved by the Swiss Monetary Authority. This is exactly the opposite of what many domestic investors have been told. Vincent, a spokesman for the Swiss Monetary Authority, said that this means that API companies may be illegally providing services.
