MultiChain CEO and the Team Arrested
According to the news in the last week, MultiChain CEO Zhaojun and his team were arrested in Shanghai. $MULTI coin plunged ~60% as investors withdrew their holdings after the news of the arrests.
Large investors such as HashKeyGroup and small investors have transferred their withdrawn assets to the GATEIO exchange. Some organizations have transferred MULTI assets to the Huobi exchange for better pricing.
Pool Liquidity Problems
A liquidity pool on SushiSwap transferred $5M worth of MULTI coins to the pool to prevent the $MULTI coin from falling. However, they still did not succeed. The current $MULTI liquidity pool on SushiSwap is worth $500K instead of $5.5M.
