According to the initial investigation results, since May 2021, Nguyen Hoa Binh - Chairman of the Board of Directors of Nexttech Group and a number of individuals have built the "Antex digital currency" project, calling on investors to contribute capital to develop the digital currency ecosystem and VNDT e-wallet.

From August to November 2021, this group issued about 33.2 billion tokens, collecting the equivalent of 4.5 million USD (about 117 billion VND) from about 30,000 investors. However, the investigation determined that the project was not implemented on schedule, and these people withdrew money from the project's general wallet, transferred it to personal accounts or companies in the Nexttech ecosystem for misuse.
