Last week, while the core technical team was detained, FIL tokens on the STFIL platform were mysteriously transferred to an external address, raising red flags among investors and stakeholders.
The transferred funds were tracked to an external نشانی, which the STFIL Protocol has made public in their post. This address currently holds 2.5 million FIL tokens worth approximately $22 million. The post also includes the Protocol’s original نشانی برای مقایسه.
Adding to the situation, there have been reports of abnormal and unscheduled upgrades to the protocol in the past couple of days.
In response to these developments, the STFIL team is actively seeking assistance from the community to track the unknown address and explore measures to safeguard stakeholders’ interests.
Filecoin Mining Pyramid Scheme Case
Meanwhile, In August last year, a Chinese court started proceedings for a case involving a Chinese Filecoin mining company and its four executives, who are accused of organizing an $83.3 million pyramid scheme.
به گفته محلی رسانه ها, Shenzhen Shikongyun Technology and its four executives, including the company’s founder surnamed Lai, are on trial for charges of organizing and leading activities related to a pyramid scheme.
According to prosecutors, the defendants allegedly lured customers by claiming to mine FIL coins on the company’s platform. They claimed that individuals had to meet certain qualifications to participate, such as paying fees for purchasing or leasing mining equipment.
STFIL, a liquid staking protocol built on Filecoin, enables users to earn staking rewards on their FIL tokens while retaining their ability to use them within decentralized finance (DeFi). In exchange for their deposits, users receive liquid staking tokens (LSTs).
مطابق با داده ها from DefiLlama, the platform’s total value locked stands at around $40 million, marking a nearly 60% decrease since the beginning of April.
