On-chain sleuths have been tracking PlusToken funds to ensure they are unable to cash out. Exchanges, too, have been cautious not to let any funds from associated addresses cash out from their platforms.

The scheme duped investors in several cryptocurrencies such as BTC, ETH, and others like EOS. They have frequently been dumping massive amounts of tokens on certain unwitting exchanges, driving prices down, and deteriorating sentiment.

If the reports are true, Bitcoin’s upside sentiment is bound to improve as the possibility of the scheme dumping tokens and pushing price down decreases. The Chinese government will likely take control of PlusToken’s loot.
