On September 5th, according to Protos, a 19-year-old Singaporean cryptocurrency trader was ambushed by two men while attempting to exchange 32000 Singapore dollars (approximately 24000 US dollars) for USDT. They punched him and chased him through a nearby shopping center, forcing him to abandon the face-to-face transaction. This young man is only known as' ZK '. On August 29th, he was attacked by two men while meeting with a cryptocurrency seller in a parking lot. ZK stated that during the transaction, the two men appeared to be "ordinary pedestrians", and as they passed by, one of them suddenly punched him on the left side of the face. Due to concerns that these people might steal his cash, ZK immediately ran to the nearby shopping center and shouted for help. The two of them then chased after him, but ZK said he successfully got rid of them and reported it to the police. This transaction was contacted through Telegram, and ZK explained that although he had never had a transaction with the seller before, he decided to proceed because he needed USDT and the seller was the only person who contacted him. He also stated that he wants to purchase USDT in person because it can save transaction fees. He explained, "Based on my trading frequency, it is unreasonable to bear transaction fees and other expenses The two initially agreed to meet at a public mall, where ZK would hand over the cash to the seller, who would then send USDT directly to his wallet. However, the seller changed the location to a nearby parking lot at the last minute. According to reports, Singapore police have arrested two men, aged 20 and 21, on suspicion of attempted robbery.
