According to United News Network, ChainCatcher reports that the digital asset management platform Steaker launched an investment scheme to attract public investment in cryptocurrencies, allegedly illegally raising approximately NT$1.48 billion over 3 years. The Taipei District Prosecutor's Office has indicted Steaker and its founder Huang Wei-xuan, along with 3 other individuals.
In response, Steaker issued a statement clarifying that they have never engaged in any illegal activities and are deeply disappointed by the prosecutor's indictment. They stated that virtual assets are not legal tender and they merely provide virtual asset allocation services, have not received any legal currency, and do not offer exchange services, and explained the full context of the incident through their statement.
