Fact Check
The claim is directly confirmed by ZachXBT's own primary X post (status/2051645845993648517), which is the originating source of the disclosure. All key figures - $150M+ Ponzi scheme, $92M+ laundered between April 27-May 3, and $41.5M+ frozen - are explicitly stated in that post and corroborated by PANews (English and Chinese editions), TradingView/CoinPedia, and crypto.news. The involvement of U.S. law enforcement alongside Tether, Binance Security, and OKX is confirmed across all sources. The claim's reference to 'U.S. authorities seized the BG Wealth Sharing domain' is a slight simplification of what sources describe as a broader joint fund-freezing operation (not exclusively a domain seizure), but the core substance - a $150M Ponzi collapse, $92M+ in suspected laundering traced, and $41M+ frozen - is robustly supported. The minor discrepancy on 'domain seizure' vs. broader enforcement action slightly reduces certainty but does not undermine the overall claim's validity.
Summary

Blockchain investigator ZachXBT said the DSJ Exchange and BG Wealth Sharing operation collapsed after involving more than $150 million in what he described as a Ponzi scheme. He said the scheme, which used a fake CEO and promised daily returns of 1.3% to 2.6%, had operated since 2025 and used referral commissions, rank-based bonuses and fake trading signals to recruit victims. U.S. law enforcement seized one BG Wealth domain on April 23, but the operation reportedly continued for about another week before withdrawals were disabled. ZachXBT said more than $92 million was later laundered between April 27 and May 3, and that Tether, Binance, OKX and authorities froze more than $41 million tied to the case.
