ChainCatcher news, MANTRA stated on platform X that the fluctuations in the OM market were triggered by CEX's reckless forced account closures of token holders. The timing and depth of this crash indicate that account positions were suddenly closed without sufficient warning or notification. This incident occurred during a low liquidity period on Sunday night (early morning in Asia) and suggests a degree of negligence on the part of CEX, or possibly a deliberate market positioning.CEX partners play a crucial role in providing liquidity for projects, but they still exercise a high degree of discretion. If discretion is exercised without proper internal and external oversight, chaotic situations like the recent one can and will occur, causing harm to both the project and investors. It is important to clarify that this chaos was not caused by the team, the MANTRA Chain Association, core advisors, or MANTRA investors selling tokens; the tokens remain locked and are subject to the announced vesting period, with the tokenomics unchanged. Please be reminded not to click on any scam links or accounts impersonating MANTRA.

ChainCatcher message, Sun Yuchen published the "Seven Deadly Sins" of First Digital Trust (FDT) on social media, including: violation of fiduciary duty, misuse of client funds, unlicensed investment activities, fraud or theft, false reporting or concealment of information, violation of anti-money laundering (AML) regulations, violation of Hong Kong POBO regulations. The details are as follows:Crime 1: Violation of Fiduciary DutyAccording to the Hong Kong Trust Ordinance (Chapter 29), trustees must act with care, diligence, and loyalty. Misappropriation of client funds violates Section 4 (reasonable care obligation) and the principles of trust. Clearly, FDT will bear liability for compensation and damages in civil litigation.Crime 2: Misuse of Client FundsThe Securities and Futures (Client Money) Rules (Chapter 571) stipulate that custodial funds must not be used for the custodian's own purposes. Client assets must be held in segregated accounts, and unauthorized withdrawals are strictly prohibited. By transferring TUSD funds to ARIA DMCC without proper authorization, FDT faces enforcement actions, including fines, revocation of licenses, or criminal prosecution.Crime 3: Unlicensed Investment ActivitiesAlthough FDT is registered as a Trust or Company Service Provider (TCSP), it has no SFC license to conduct regulated activities on behalf of clients. Its so-called investment activities involving TUSD assets at ARIA directly violate the provisions of the Securities and Futures Ordinance, which prohibits engaging in regulated activities without a license.Crime 4: Fraud or TheftMisappropriation of funds with the intent to deceive clients constitutes fraud or theft. FDT conspired with accomplices (such as Aria CFF, Truecoin (Alex De Lorraine), Crossbridge/Finaport (Yai Sukonthabhund)) to cover up the misappropriation by falsifying records and claiming to have made false investments.Crime 5: False Reporting or Concealment of InformationTo cover up misappropriation or unauthorized transactions, FDT provided false statements and fraudulent documents, claiming that TUSD funds were intact and invested as instructed. This violates Section 300 of the Securities and Futures Ordinance (using fraudulent or deceptive means in securities transactions).Crime 6: Violation of Anti-Money Laundering (AML) RegulationsBy transferring misappropriated funds through complex transactions or offshore accounts to conceal their source, FDT facilitated and/or constituted a violation of anti-money laundering regulations.Crime 7: Prevention of Bribery Ordinance (POBO)The Prevention of Bribery Ordinance is the primary legislation in Hong Kong governing secret commissions. It criminalizes corrupt transactions, including agents receiving undisclosed benefits or commissions without the principal's consent. FDT/Legacy, under the direction of Vincent Chok, received secret kickbacks from DMCC in exchange for the illegal transfer of TUSD custodial funds.
