Lam, who has over 190,000 Instagram followers, was arrested today and his office was raided. The arrest follows the Securities and Futures Commission's warning against JPEX for misleading statements about its licensing status. 

The police have received at least 83 complaints involving JPEX, with virtual assets worth about HK$34 million ($4.3 million) reported.
