PANews reported on October 8 that according to the Liaocheng Public Security WeChat account, the Shen County Public Security Bureau of Liaocheng City, Shandong Province successfully cracked the city’s first pyramid scheme case involving virtual currency, "12.04". Six pyramid scheme leaders and core members were arrested, and more than 10 million yuan of illegal income was recovered. In December 2022, police officers from the Shen County Public Security Bureau discovered virtual currency pyramid schemes on the Binance Smart Chain during an online patrol. The project used the "token pocket" wallet with the help of smart contracts to release decentralized cryptocurrencies DCS and CAR, and used high returns as an inducement to encourage participating members to drive up the prices of DCS and CAR and attract new members to join, suspected of pyramid schemes. The task force once set up a forward operations command center in Qingdao, and received assistance from public security organs in Tai'an, Weifang, Xi'an, Fuzhou and other places. $BTC #注意资金安全
