On June 2, 2023, in a now-deleted Instagram story, international fugitive and drug trafficker Victor Chang (張崗麟 CHANG, KANG-LIN) was spotted proudly promoting PiggyCell, the Korean powerbank rental company that claims to be revolutionizing “decentralized infrastructure.” But what is PiggyCell really powering?
The post, shared from @idearvictor, features multiple PiggyCell battery rental stations with the caption:
“Cause it’s my bros & it’s everywhere and really convenient” — a casual endorsement that has since sparked outrage.
Why? Because the connections run far deeper than a power bank.
Let’s break it down:
Hyeji Bae, the disgraced former K-pop socialite turned scam artist, is still listed as Outside Director (Non-Executive Director) at PiggyCell. This is the same Hyeji Bae exposed for:
- Recruiting women for the infamous Burning Sun nightclub — a hotspot for drugging, sexual assault, and corruption.
- Smuggling narcotics across borders, including a damning voice recording where she casually admits to transporting drugs.
- Defrauding an innocent man out of over $400,000 and funneling the funds into the now-collapsed PiggyCell crypto token.
And now, Victor Chang — also implicated in narcotics trafficking, sexual exploitation, and a long history of fraud — is publicly supporting the very company that continues to employ her.
This isn’t just an innocent shoutout. It’s a disturbing glimpse into the shadowy alliance behind PiggyCell’s polished public image. A company claiming to revolutionize blockchain-powered infrastructure is openly working with — and possibly backed by — a ring of individuals tied to drug smuggling, financial scams, and criminal activity across Asia.
Is PiggyCell nothing more than a front? A laundering machine powered by fake tokens, fake tech, and very real victims?
Let’s not forget: the PiggyCell token has already lost over 99% of its value. Investors were misled. Money vanished. And Hyeji Bae, the mastermind behind the scam, remains on the board.
So what does it mean when Victor Chang — a man wanted across borders — proudly proclaims “it’s my bros”?
It means the rot goes deeper than anyone realized. PiggyCell’s silence on its association with criminals like Victor and Hyeji is not just complicity — it’s a statement. They stand by these people.
What kind of company allows a Burning Sun recruiter, a confessed drug trafficker, and a romance scammer to hold a director-level position? What kind of brand is celebrated by a fugitive with a known history of trafficking and manipulation?
A corrupt one. A dangerous one.
And one whose customers — and regulators — need to start asking serious questions.
