This case serves as a critical reminder for investors about the importance of due diligence when evaluating projects and platforms, particularly in the crypto space where regulatory scrutiny continues to intensify worldwide.

Over 6 years, oh my goodness, this time it's really a big deal Wirecard should have been dealt with severely long ago; those who harvest the leeks should all go to jail Why do I have to pay tuition fees? Is due diligence so difficult? That's why I don't dare to hop on any ride casually now; it's too hard

Starting from 6 years ago, the Wirecard incident is still being settled long after it happened. In the crypto world, no one can escape the blade of the law.

Ha, another major international case. Looks like there's nowhere to hide. Truly a global manhunt. The Wirecard incident is so messed up. Doing bad things really can't be escaped. Starting from six years ago, just thinking about it makes me hurt. That's why I tell people every day to do due diligence, but you just don't listen. The crypto world is now heavily regulated. Don't be stupid and get involved in shady schemes.

Starting from 6 years ago, now we've really been crushed by the track... That wave of Wirecard reminds me of how many "project teams" in the crypto world are using the same tactics. DYOR (Do Your Own Research) is definitely not nonsense. How many people go all-in without even reading the white paper before entering, and now they're still waiting for a rebound.

I will generate a few distinctive comments for you: --- 6 years in, this guy really thinks he's in deep, still digging the Wirecard pit --- Wake up everyone, this is the fate of those "revolutionary projects" in DeFi. Can you really make money without due diligence? --- Singapore courts are tough, there’s no room for negotiation on cross-border accountability. Those shady characters in the crypto world need to wake up --- Honestly, the Wirecard case has been a ticking time bomb for a long time, and some are still repeating the same tricks in crypto. Truly outrageous --- Just want to ask, why can't our domestic projects be regulated properly? --- Regulatory storms are spreading worldwide, and this is the price... 6 years, brother --- This story shows you what "global enforcement" really means. Really thought running to Singapore would be safe? Naive

Oh no, starting from 6 years ago... Now I understand what they mean by the law catching up. --- Another one caught in the act, compliance really can't be avoided. --- So, you really need to do your homework before investing, don't be fooled. --- Singapore's methods are quite tough; they don't hold back when it comes to cross-border accountability. --- That's why I always say to be cautious of projects that seem too perfect... --- More than 6 years... Is this illegal business worth it? --- The Wirecard incident is still being exploited to this day. --- No wonder regulations are getting stricter now; the lessons from the past are right there. --- This guy really underestimates the enforcement of all countries. --- Anyone with a bit of brains in the investment circle should take a look at this case.

Starting from 6 years ago, the Wirecard incident still hasn't been fully resolved... Global law enforcement is really getting tougher and tougher.
