The Hong Kong police have launched a large-scale investigation into the JPEX fraud case. Many KOLs and Internet celebrities who have endorsed JPEX have been frequently arrested by the police recently. The total number of arrests as of 10/8 has reached 28 people. But look at Taiwan’s spokesperson Chen Lingjiu. Or the KOL "Tigger Tony" who once worked for the JPEX platform seems to have escaped without any criminal responsibility. Some victims are quite helpless. Compared with Hong Kong's strict investigation and Taiwan's police call, it is useless. 

Legal Explanation of Spokesperson Responsibilities

Lawyer Zhang Huashan of Fidelity Law Firm said that if an artist knows that the manufacturer's products or services are defective but still collects compensation to endorse advertisements, then he may be considered to have committed joint infringement with the manufacturer, and may even be involved in fraud. Possibility of criminal liability for defrauding accomplices. If the spokesperson wants to be exempted from relevant responsibilities, he must prove that he actually did not know that the manufacturer's services were illegal. This part will be confirmed by a judge in the future.
