Chinese influencer denies links to honeytrap scam after promising sex to any Bitcoiner, BTS firm’s $350 blockchain revenue: Asia Express.
A viral crypto influencers spend the night with BTC holders stunt has taken a dark turn after Chinese media linked her profile to a real-life extortion case.
On March 25, Sina Finance reported that in 2024, a software engineer in Chengdu was ambushed and robbed of 6 BTC by a criminal gang posing as a female crypto trader named Bitcoin Conger.
The group had allegedly lured the victim through an X profile that promised sexual favors after months of online communications. Once the victim agreed to meet at a high-end hotel in Chengdu, the perpetrators reportedly used fabricated evidence to threaten the victims reputation, ultimately extorting a 6 BTC transfer.
