Ko Wenzhe, chairman of the Taiwan People’s Party and former Taipei mayor, was detained by the Taipei District Court on the 5th because of the Jinghua City case. He was accused of violating his duties by accepting bribes and seeking profits in accordance with the Corruption Crime Ordinance. There was also the risk of destroying evidence and colluding with evidence. It has been nearly half a month since we met.
Taiwanese media have recently spread rumors that when the prosecutor searched Ke Wenzhe's home, he suspected that he found a CD containing a "mysterious account book", which recorded "2022/11/1 Xiao Shen 1500 Chongqingjing". Whether 1500 means bribery has become a question in recent days. It has been the focus of heated discussions among Taiwanese media and communities.
Ke Wenzhe’s flash drive 1500 is suspected of being involved in cryptocurrency
There are currently many speculations about NT$1,500. Some people suspect that it refers to NT$15 million, and some celebrities are pointing out that the cash flow may involve cryptocurrency. Wu Zijia, chairman of Formosa Electronic News, said last week that because Shen Qingjing often goes to Philippine casinos to gamble, and Tether is the common currency in casinos around the world, Xiao Shen may have given Ke USDT.
In addition, senior media person Chen Minfeng said on the Sanli program last week that 1,500 refers to 1,500 Bitcoins, which is worth nearly NT$2.9 billion based on the current price of Bitcoin of nearly US$61,000. However, his statement was criticized by encryption experts. Ke The likelihood of receiving such a large amount of Bitcoin as a gift is low.
1500 refers to 1500 ether coins?
The crypto KOL genius Ah Shui said on the Sanli political commentary program "New Taiwan Come on" yesterday (17th) that converting 1,500 Bitcoins into U.S. dollars would be about 87.5 million U.S. dollars. This amount must be said "I think it is unlikely."
If Ke Wenzhe really owns 1,500 Bitcoins, he would already be ranked 6th in the world. This is already as rich as any country. It should be impossible in terms of amount.
However, he changed the subject and said that the unit of 1,500 may also refer to "Ethereum", the world's second largest cryptocurrency by market value.
The current value of ETH is approximately US$2,300. If Ke owns 1,500 Ethereum coins, it would be approximately US$3.45 million, which would be approximately US$110 million in New Taiwan dollars. This number is relatively reasonable.
Villager: Is it 1500 now? Fill in the blanks?
Many Taiwanese netizens criticized the genius Ah Shui's claim that Ke Wenzhe's USB record might contain 1,500 Ether coins: "The Bitcoin script was ridiculed, change the script to a new one", "First shoot an arrow and then draw a target, and the celebrity is flanked by a couplets" They can’t even draw." "Do these idiots think virtual currency is difficult to check?" "The cash flow of 15.99 million rose to 2.8 billion before I could find it, and now it has dropped back to 110 million. Let’s make a movie." "Next Do you want to exchange for SOL?”, “ Will it turn into Tom Bear tokens in a few days?”, “Now it’s 1500 units of fill-in-the-blank questions?”
However, some netizens believe that Wu Zijia's Tether guess is more reasonable. " If it is 15 million Tether = 480 million Taiwan dollars, it is also very possible."
No matter what, the case is still under investigation, and many of the news are speculations on the Internet and the media, which are still unconfirmable . BlockTempo reminds readers:
