#12It would be great if the article gives more information about the scheme. EDIT: great that breden has added the actual case.
Crypto just sounds a a little clickbait because fraud is fraud no matters the means except if crypto has something different in this case.
I think it is more interesting that the Epoch Times was a beneficiary from this scheme so I don't see as a normal case where the CFO enrich himself. In almost all frauds, specially in crypto, the enriched party is an individual, group, or another company that use their position against a company or community for himself. For example, FTX and Three Arrows Capital [1].
BTW, I am the plaintiff in an ongoing crypto lawsuit [2].

#13Wow. I wonder what they were buying? It’s not spelled out in the article I didn’t realize they were affiliated with Falun Gong. The only reason I even know this company existed is their billboards started popping up on the highway recently.
We used to occasionally get Epoch Times issues stuffed into our mailbox. (Illegally, I understand, since they were not delivered by the USPS.)
They were full of the most disgusting bigoted hateful rhetoric. It actually made me feel quite uncomfortable, thinking about who was writing and distributing it.
"Shen Yun", a show that also has billboard ads all over the bay area, is also a Falun Gong operation, just like Epoch.

#14For those who don't know, Epoch Times is the media outlet of Falun Gong.
It’s mentioned in the article

Their media arm is quite ubiquitous in Asia. They also run Shen Yun [0], whose pamphlets you may have seen around from time to time.

It's really weird that the people behind Epoch, are the same that one can find peacefully protesting in many major cities against the treatment they receive in China.
I have to say, their behaviour in recent years made me rethink their claims about illegal organ harvesting. I know both things, they being a hateful cult and being oppressed and killed by the Chinese regime, can be true, but their alignment with far right groups and conspiracy theorists is hard to overlook.

During early COVID, they also reported that, based on calls to overloaded crematoriums under false name, the number of COVID deaths was much higher than given in the official figures. Those official figures were eventually corrected upwards, confirming the Epoch times reports.

#19> The plot, prosecutors said, was simple: members of the Make Money Online (MMO) team would purchase crime proceeds via cryptocurrency at a discount and transfer those proceeds into bank accounts held by entities affiliated with newspaper. > The illegal proceeds would ultimately be moved back into the Epoch Times accounts through "tens of thousands of layered transactions", including through prepaid debit cards and f…
One example was buying up fraudulent unemployment insurance debit cards.

Falun Gong and Epoch Times receive funding from Congress via the National Endowment for Democracy. I guess the USA promotes them since they're a thorn in the side of China.
And yeah, they get up to some weird stuff.
