According to Deep Tide TechFlow news on May 29, as reported by Dongsen News, there has been new progress in the case of Lin Ruixiang, a former student of National Taiwan University, who is suspected of establishing a drug trading platform on the dark web. It is reported that Lin was hacked in February 2024, resulting in the theft of his Crypto Assets and NFT assets.

The hacker disguised as an investor to lure Lin into downloading software containing malware, thereby stealing his digital assets. It is reported that Lin showcased his trading status prominently on social media, revealing a monthly trading volume exceeding 1 million dollars and owning multiple Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs.

Lin was arrested by the FBI in May 2024. Previously, the dark web platform he operated had been shut down and then restarted, demanding users pay a $20,000 confidentiality fee, or their personal information would be leaked.
