Huang Zijiao possesses private sexual images of minors
The well-known artist Huang Zijiao was recently revealed to be a senior member of the candid photography forum "Creative Private Room Forum". According to the Central News Agency, Huang Zijiao has purchased hundreds of videos of women's nudity and sexual intercourse in the past six years, and possesses many indecent videos of underage girls. The video aroused public criticism, and the Taipei District Prosecutor's Office also granted deferred prosecution for the crime of possessing sexual images of juveniles without justification.
The "Creative Private Forum", known as the "Taiwan version of Room N", has many sexually intimate images of exploited underage women on the platform, including many innocent women who were filmed without any knowledge, and even classified notes. The identity background or Facebook information of the woman in the video allows buyers to know the identity and age of the person being photographed.
The creative private platform has a low-key style and hides the stored value wallet address. It also notes on the homepage "Do not use Binance and domestic exchange wallets" to avoid being traced.
The Creative Private Forum only accepts paid members, and one of the main ways to store value is to use the cryptocurrency USDT. After the Huang Zijiao incident, although the platform webpage can still be searched, the style has changed to a lower profile. Not only does the wallet address be hidden, but also a note on the homepage "Do not use Binance and domestic exchange wallets" to avoid being traced.
The open and transparent nature of blockchain makes it easier to trace cash flows
According to the collection wallet addresses used by Creative Private Room in the past, compiled by netizens, and through OKLink blockchain browser, on-chain cash flow tracking tool metasleuth, etc., one can see the status of wallet activities and trace the cash flow.
After the incident broke out, users continued to transfer money to wallet addresses to store value. The latest cash flow occurred on April 8.
As you can see from the picture above, after the Huang Zijiao incident broke out, users continued to transfer money to their wallet addresses for storage, and through the on-chain cash flow tracking platform, you can directly see the users including Binance and Token , OKX, MaiCoin and other large domestic and foreign centralized exchange wallets for transactions.
Through the on-chain cash flow tracking platform, you can directly see the wallet addresses of transactions through large centralized exchanges at home and abroad.
Although the anonymity of cryptocurrency can maintain user privacy and prevent the true identity from being exposed, it is often used as a tool for crime and money laundering, causing the public's perception of cryptocurrency to become increasingly negative.
But in fact, every transaction record on the wallet will leave traces on the chain, and the tracing of financial flows on the chain is more transparent than traditional finance. Whether it is the wallet address of the payment or the recipient, it may become a clue to criminal behavior. , the prosecution and investigation agencies can quickly trace the source, thereby strengthening the ability to combat criminal activities.
Since all transactions on the blockchain are open and transparent, everyone can quickly see the transaction status of the wallet and the whereabouts of the money flow by simply entering the wallet address. At the same time, exchanges also require users to undergo KYC identity verification when opening accounts. In addition, most domestic exchanges cooperate with judicial authorities. Therefore, the inspection agency only needs to know the wallet addresses of the payment and receiving parties, and they can quickly The user was traced.
Therefore, users should not take any chances and think that by using cryptocurrencies they can remain anonymous and covert without getting caught.
However, not all overseas exchanges cooperate with Taiwan law enforcement agencies, and cryptocurrency crimes often require cooperation with overseas law enforcement agencies. This is the biggest challenge in current cryptocurrency crime investigations. Currently, only Binance has a cooperative relationship with Taiwan among overseas exchanges. Therefore, if Creative Private Forum users conduct transactions through other overseas exchanges, it will become more difficult to trace them.
If traditional crime prevention systems, on-chain financial flow tracing, and closer international cooperation mechanisms can be integrated upstream and downstream in the future, cross-border cryptocurrency crimes will be more effectively combated.
Through international information sharing, rapid coordination among law enforcement agencies, and deeper supervision of the cryptocurrency market, it may be possible to effectively reduce the incidence of cryptocurrency criminal activities and increase society's trust in cryptocurrency.
