Yunlin, Taiwan, China cracked a virtual currency fraud case worth over NT$100 million, and 33 people were prosecuted

The Yunlin District Prosecutor's Office in Taiwan, China, recently cracked a fraud case in which the victim was defrauded of more than NT$134 million (NT$, the same below). The investigation of the case was concluded, 33 people were prosecuted, and two police officers in Kaohsiung were found to be involved in the case. The Yunlin District Prosecutor's Office issued a press release on the same day stating that in July last year, the police arrested a 30-year-old "driver" (meaning a person who specializes in helping fraudsters withdraw fraudulent funds) Chen Mou, who was suspected of using virtual currency for fraud, and then arrested another 28-year-old "driver" Chen Mou, and applied to the local court for detention and was approved. The prosecutor's office further investigated and found that gangs and police officers were involved in the case, and then expanded the scope of the investigation and found that the brother of the 28-year-old "driver" Chen Mou was a Kaohsiung police officer Chen Mou, who assisted his brother in asking Hong Mou, who was also a Kaohsiung police officer, about the relevant technological investigation methods and case handling models for investigating fraud cases, and introduced the two to each other. Hong Mou used his position to provide the fraud group with personal information of the public, assisted in inquiring about the progress of the investigation of fraud cases, and taught members of the fraud group to respond to police inquiries. Currently, both police officers have been dismissed. The prosecutor said that the case also found that the "driver" Yu was a member of the Mingren Club of the Bamboo Union Gang, and his boss Wu led dozens of Taiwanese "driver" groups and managed more than 40 virtual currency wallets. The prosecutor said that more than 20 searches were launched before and after the case, and more than 90 million yuan in cash and more than 50 million yuan in virtual currency were seized. The case prosecuted 33 people involved in the case for fraud, leaking secrets, forging documents, money laundering and other crimes. (China News Network)
