Previously, during a press briefing on October 6th, Colonel Nguyen Duc Long, Deputy Director of Hanoi City Police, revealed that the department had received reports regarding the AntEx digital currency project.
According to Colonel Long, upon learning of public concerns and media reports about individuals losing money through the AntEx project, as well as the mutual accusations between NextTech Chairman Shark Binh and the AntEx development team, which caused a stir on social media, the Hanoi City Police promptly directed specialized units to monitor the situation, verify the information, and take strict legal action.
After reviewing reports of criminal complaints, Hanoi City Police units confirmed receiving one complaint related to the AntEx digital currency project. The complaint was filed by Mr. L.N.H. from Ninh Binh, who reported a loss of $2,000 (approximately 47 million VND).
The Hanoi City Police assured that all criminal complaints would be received and addressed in accordance with the law, adhering to the principle of “no exceptions, no forbidden zones.”

On October 6th and 7th, Hanoi City Police operational units visited the building at 18 Tam Trinh (Hanoi), which houses Shark Binh’s company. On the evening of October 7th, police officers loaded dozens of cartons onto a truck and departed.
During a livestream on September 26th titled “Cryptocurrency Assets – Opportunities and Risks,” NextTech Chairman Shark Binh shared insights that quickly garnered public attention.
Subsequently, the AntEx blockchain project resurfaced in public discourse. AntEx had raised millions of dollars but later collapsed, resulting in significant losses for many investors.
Shark Binh claimed to be a victim himself, stating he had been “ruthlessly drained.”
Notably, the project involved the NextTech/Next100 fund, founded by Shark Binh, as an investor.
The AntEx digital currency (AntEx token) launched in September 2021 and was promoted as a “Made in Vietnam” blockchain ecosystem, aiming to develop a decentralized exchange, digital wallet, and various digital financial applications. However, shortly after its launch, the AntEx token plummeted, losing nearly all its value and causing substantial losses for investors.
