The PlusToken Wallet had over 2.4 million active members who were mainly from Asian countries. PlusToken claimed that their system would increase the users crypto assets through arbitrage trading.

PlusToken team carried out multiple paid social media campaigns, a very generous referral program and organized multiple events to promote their Ponzi Scheme and to attract more victims.
