AEX Founder Huang Tianwei Released in Thailand: Why User Funds Are Still Frozen After the Crash

The Algorithm Didn’t Trigger Recovery

I was at my desk when I first heard the news: Huang Tianwei, founder of AEX—a platform built on promises and zero transparency—was released in Chiang Rai after months in custody. His家人 paid the bail. But let me be clear: freedom ≠ restitution.

The crash wasn’t accidental. It was engineered.

AEX went offline on July 14, 2022—not from a hack, but because its liquidity model failed under pressure. No reserve pool. No oracle. Just a Solidity loop with no exit condition. The official announcement? ‘We’re cooperating with police.’ As if auditing were a performance art and not a technical duty.

The Users Who Lost Everything

These aren’t victims—they’re OGs.

Users didn’t buy into hype; they staked their capital into an ecosystem designed by someone who thought math could fix reality—and then watched it all collapse like dead code.

Three大户 walked away with partial assets. Not because they were smart—but because they were the only ones who read the whitepaper before deploying.

This Isn’t About One Man—It’s About the Protocol

Huang doesn’t operate alone.

He built what we all believed in: trustless systems that would self-correct… until someone turned off the server.

The real crime? We taught users to trust code over people.

And now? We’re still waiting for a公告 that never came.

If you held your keys—even now—you know where this ends.
