2025.12.15 17:21:47

Hong Kong Economic Daily reported on December 15 that the alleged fraud case linked to JPEX, a virtual asset trading platform, has seen a new development. Eight defendants face multiple charges, and the case has been adjourned to March 16, 2026 for a retrial. The eight defendants include former TVB actor Zheng Junxi (31), Siu Wing-him (28), Lam Zuo (35), internet celebrity Chen Yingyi (38) (known online as "Chen Yi"), Au Chak-ki (31), Chiu King-yin (25), YouTuber Leung Kei-cheung (31) (who goes by "Xiang Xiang" online), and Ho Ki-man (28). Charges against them include conspiracy to defraud, fraud, fraudulently or recklessly inducing others to invest in virtual assets, and dealing with property representing proceeds of a felony—knowing or believing it to be such proceeds. Zheng Junxi did not apply for bail; the other seven defendants were granted bail under their original conditions, which bar them from leaving Hong Kong and require them to surrender all travel documents.
