Many people were charged with aiding and abetting for using black and gray trading platforms to trade "U-coins" to earn the difference

According to the Procuratorate Daily, the means of assisting information network criminal activities are constantly changing, and telecommunications network fraud cases caused by virtual currency also occur from time to time. In June this year, the criminal suspect Yang logged into the black and gray market trading platform "Huiwang" through a chat software, and joined the chat group for buying and selling virtual currency "U Coin" on the platform. Subsequently, Yang, Jin, and He jointly invested 220,000 yuan, and Yang bought virtual currency from a "U merchant" in the group at a price lower than the platform transaction price of three cents, and deposited it in the "U merchant" account to receive tasks. The so-called task is to help the "U merchant" sell "U coins" and collect the sales funds. On June 8, Yang, under the instruction of the "U merchant", colluded with Jin and He to collect 220,000 yuan in cash from the victim Gao by selling "U coins", and then put the 220,000 yuan in cash to the location designated by the "U merchant". The "U merchant" then transferred the payment to Yang's "U coin" account in the form of "U coins", and the three made a total profit of 3,800 yuan. According to reports, in my country, foreign exchange transactions must be conducted at designated places by the state, otherwise it is considered illegal foreign exchange transactions, and serious cases will be subject to criminal liability. Therefore, the prosecutor reminds investors not to easily trust others in order to seek a small amount of profit, and withdraw a large amount of cash from the bank to buy virtual currency. They should remain rational, strengthen risk prevention awareness and identification capabilities, always be vigilant against virtual currency scams, and stay away from illegal fundraising.
