Elaborate Elon Musk deepfake crypto fraud uncovered in Hong Kong

As an experienced financial analyst, I strongly condemn the actions of Quantum AI for falsely claiming affiliation with Elon Musk and spreading false and misleading information to unsuspecting investors in Hong Kong. This is not only unethical but also illegal, as it goes against the regulations set by the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (HKSFC).


Hong Kong officials have cracked down on a deceitful, unauthorized cryptocurrency platform falsely claiming association with Tesla’s Elon Musk and the Dogecoin advocate.

The Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (HKSFC) has issued a cautionary statement regarding Quantum AI, which asserts it provides automated crypto trading solutions utilizing artificial intelligence technology.

Hong Kong’s Quantum AI asserted a connection to Musk on their former site, claiming he was responsible for creating the foundation AI tech used in cryptocurrency trading. Furthermore, they showcased AI-generated content featuring Elon Musk on their website and social media channels.

The Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) of Hong Kong suspected Quantum AI of disseminating untrue and deceptive information about their organization through an undisclosed news platform. Their objective was to generate interest in their crypto trading services and gain credibility among unsuspecting investors in Hong Kong. According to the SFC warning, this action was in contravention of applicable securities laws.

According to reports on a news site, the Hong Kong population is alleged to be utilizing their technology for cryptocurrency trading, supposedly earning unusually high profits.

According to a local news source, Jinse, the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (HSFCC) ordered the Hong Kong police to prevent access to Quantum AI‘s website and delete any associated social media content.

A total of 23 cryptocurrency exchanges have submitted applications for licensing in Hong Kong as of now. However, the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) ceased accepting new crypto license applications back in February, and all unlicensed entities were instructed to shut down their operations by May’s end.

In the midst of the continuing clampdown on unauthorized cryptocurrency trading platforms, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) and the Hong Kong Monetary Authority’s counterpart, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, have teamed up with local businesses such as HSBC and HashKey to investigate the potential of asset tokenization.

On May 7th, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) unveiled plans for a “Project Ensemble Architecture Group,” which is a unique collaboration between regulatory bodies and industry professionals aimed at establishing tokenization guidelines.

This endeavor aims to foster and facilitate compatibility among wholesale central bank digital currencies (wCBDCs), which represent a class of digital funds exchanged between banks and monetary institutions.
