However, Cai claimed a year ago that the account was locked for some reason and has yet to return the assets, and Cai himself has since disappeared. Recently, Jay Chou posted on IG to publicly search for him, saying, "If anyone sees this magician who can even make himself disappear, let me know. Do you think I'm not a magician? If you don't show up soon, you're finished." Afterwards, Jay Chou unfollowed Cai Weize on social media. According to insiders, it was heard as early as a year ago that Cai Weize, who was holding Jay Chou's bitcoin investment account, had the account locked. At that time, Cai claimed he would find a way to unlock it and pleaded poverty, saying many people were asking him for money. Jay Chou eventually agreed to give him more time. Reportedly, Cai Weize is quite active in the blockchain investment circle, with a variety of side businesses, investing in both restaurants and cryptocurrencies, and there are even rumors that he once had his girlfriend embezzle company assets for crypto investments. Cai also leveraged Jay Chou's fame, claiming to know royal families in Southeast Asia and Dubai, and helped introduce them to investments in exchange for commissions. Cai Weize, as Jay Chou's magician friend, is not only a regular on travel shows but also one of his tour partners. He began his magic career at 19, later gaining Jay Chou's appreciation and performing with him at various events. In response, Jay Chou's agency JVR Music stated that there is currently no comment.
