大家好，我是南沐，一家软件开发公司负责人 当年轰动全国的区块链项目，非PlusToken莫属。 这个自诩"全球第二大数字货币钱包"的平台，在短短一年半内，竟席卷全球200多万人，层级深达3000余层， 敛财规模之大、波及范围之广，堪称币圈史上最大资金盘之一。 案发时，警方查扣的数字货币包括32万枚比特币、920万枚以太坊、110亿枚狗狗币等， 总计超917万枚，当时折合人民币约1200亿元！ 如今回看，PlusToken不过是一场披着区块链外衣的跨国传销骗局。 今天，我们就来复盘它从横空出世到轰然崩塌的全过程。 2018年，PlusToken以"数字货币钱包"之名问世，号称具备"智能搬砖"功能，能实现月收益10%–30%。 用户需投入至少500美元等值的数字货币激活所谓"智能狗"，才能开启"自动套利"。 然而，PlusToken真正的核心并非技术，而是其传销式推广机制： 层级奖励：会员发展下线可获其直接收益的100%，第二至第十层收益的10%； 等级晋升：从"大户"到"创世"，层级越高，抽佣比例越高，顶级会员年入号称可达千万元； 提现限制：设置"28天规则"，提前提现扣5%手续费，且需人工审核，拖延资金流出。 ...

Group 1 - The "Plus Token" platform is identified as China's first major cross-border network pyramid scheme using cryptocurrencies as a trading medium, with over 2 million participants and a hierarchical structure exceeding 3,000 levels [2][4] - The platform attracted investments by falsely claiming to provide digital currency appreciation services, requiring participants to pay over $500 in Bitcoin or Ethereum to gain membership and earn "Plus Coins" [2][4] - By June 2019, the total amount involved in the scheme reached over 40 billion yuan, with funds primarily used for paying recruitment rewards and personal expenditures [2] Group 2 - The core legal issue revolves around whether the actions of the defendants constitute the crime of organizing and leading a pyramid scheme, as defined by Chinese law [3] - According to Article 224-1 of the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China, the activities of the defendants meet the criteria for organizing and leading a pyramid scheme, as they required participants to pay fees to gain membership and relied on recruitment for returns [3][4] - The court found that the defendants' actions, which involved misleading participants into believing in non-existent value-added services while profiting from recruitment, fit the legal definition of a pyramid scheme [4]
