Chinese scam movie "Gambler's Delight" is a box office hit, with the fraudulent coin "Ketai Coin" in the film hinting at Ethereum, and the meme coin "Meme Coin" skyrocketing.

The Chinese scam-themed movie "Gone with the Light" premiered at a screening in Beijing on the 5th, receiving a warm response, and announced its nationwide release in China on the 8th. The film, set against the backdrop of a scam syndicate, also touches on the scams and tragedies triggered by the hype around cryptocurrency trading and mining, sparking discussions in the Chinese community.

"All or Nothing" Explores the Desire for Get-Rich-Quick Schemes: Hoping to Alert More People

"To succeed, you must go crazy" and "Forget everything, rush for money, strive once, be wealthy for three generations" are the rallying cries of the fraud group in the movie trailer.

"All or Nothing" is a fraud-themed film directed by Shen Ao, starring actors such as Zhang Yixing and Jin Chen. Based on real cases, it reveals the chilling truth of the overseas internet fraud industry, depicting the story of a programmer and a model lured abroad by high salaries to mine for gold, only to unwittingly become part of an overseas fraud factory and suffer torment after falling into the fraud trap.

Director Shen Ao stated that a friend of his had been deeply hurt by internet fraud, and he had also seen many people suffer from family breakups and tragedies caused by online fraudsters. Therefore, he chose to use film to spread the warning of online fraud to the audience.

Negative Image of Cryptocurrency: "Ketaibi" Alludes to Ethereum and "Bicoin"

Chinese netizens discovered that in the movie "All or Nothing," the fraud group uses cryptocurrency investments for their scams, and the token in the film is named "Ketaibi." However, in the English subtitles, "Ketaibi" is actually written as "Ethereum." It is not clear whether this is due to many people using Ethereum for scams or if there are other implications.

Additionally, the film also mentions the Chinese copycat platform "Bicoin" and uses its interface, which is used as a fraudulent app by the fraud group.
