Here’s what happened:
This brother is also a EuroEasy coin trader°, who usually trades in coins. Last year, he wanted to make a sum of 800,000 U. The coin trader himself knows that if he sells U on the exchange, he may receive a black money freezing card.
I contacted the buyer off-site and asked him to buy and sell U offline in cash.
The two parties agreed on the time, place and price, and the transaction went smoothly. The money was exchanged on one hand and the U was transferred on the other.
A few days after the transaction was completed, one of the currency trader’s subordinates was arrested.
At the time of the transaction, the currency dealer was afraid that the buyer would receive the currency but not pay, so he brought a younger brother with him to sell U for cash.
The "buyer" is actually the runner of the upstream criminals, who cashed out the black money from the fraud and bought U from the currency dealer. After the fraud victim called the police, the uncle immediately arrested the criminal who withdrew the cash based on the video of the withdrawal and the video of their cash transaction. He first arrested the criminal who withdrew the cash, and then followed the clues to find the younger brother of the currency dealer. (The younger brother was responsible for collecting the money at that time).
This transaction made me a profit of more than 1,000 yuan. Currently, the coin dealer has been sentenced to more than a year in prison for concealing the crime. In March this year, the coin dealer himself was also arrested!
By April 30, 37 days have passed and we are now in the inspection stage.
There is little hope of obtaining bail, and actual imprisonment is likely.
It was learned that the coin dealer himself had no idea that the "buyer" of the transaction was from the black and gray industries. He chose offline cash transactions because he was afraid of receiving black money! (The coin dealers of the exchange themselves have no ability to avoid black money)
Now, the cash received is pure money involved in the case, and both the currency dealer and his younger brother were arrested. The U seller was arrested and looked at the prison, missing his wife and children and crying.
According to a friend, when the cryptocurrency trader was first arrested, his uncle said that if he was willing to return the funds involved, nothing would happen.
But the funds involved in the case are 800,000!
This is a considerable amount of money. An ordinary person may not be able to earn this much even if he works as a screwdriver for a lifetime.
The currency traders were inside, and their family members outside did not take any effective action, allowing the situation to develop into a serious trend.
I heard from a friend that the family also hired a local lawyer, but the lawyer did not understand virtual currency and was not professional in criminal cases involving currency, so the golden time was missed in vain.
Tianji's suggestion to the family of this currency trader is to hire a lawyer who specializes in currency-related matters, and to contact the uncle and a certain prosecutor to see if they can negotiate the refund of part of the funds involved. If not, all the funds involved should be refunded.
At this stage, it is impossible for currency traders to get out of this unscathed!
I just hope that the currency traders won’t be locked up for too long.
Selling U offline and accepting cash is very dangerous!
Some people were dissatisfied, saying that even if they received the black money, how could the cash be tracked by the uncle?
Don't doubt your uncle's ability, okay? Your uncle can also track you when you withdraw cash.
Let me share some knowledge with you.
When you withdraw cash at the counter, the bank staff will open the neatly stacked banknotes and pass them through a money counting machine, which is connected to the bank's system.
Each banknote has a serial number on it, which is like an ID card for the banknote. When you pass through the banknote counting machine, all the banknotes you take out are recorded by the bank system.
When you withdraw cash from an ATM, you will hear the sound of money being counted, which is also recording the serial number.
The source and destination of the funds are crystal clear.
Also, you have to understand that the source of cash is bank withdrawals. After a large amount of cash is withdrawn, the video of the cash withdrawal and the surveillance along the way can be used to find the person withdrawing the cash.
The most important thing is to confirm the cash serial number. By checking the withdrawal information, withdrawal time and withdrawal institution, you can determine the currency dealer you are trading with.
Finally, with all the evidence and witnesses, it will not be difficult to find you who sold U and accepted the cash.
If you sell U offline and receive stolen money and are investigated, and you use private cash transactions, your defense will most likely not be accepted by the court, because as long as you use abnormal transaction methods, abnormal prices, or even abnormal contact methods, the judicial authorities can directly infer from such abnormal circumstances that you may have subjectively known that the money was stolen money. (There are many such cases in a certain court)
The result is that your funds will be confiscated and you will also face legal risks.
The occurrence of the above dangers is a matter of probability. No matter how small the probability is, it will happen as long as you operate for a long time.
In short, be careful in everything and find a reliable currency trader to trade with.
If you want to sell U safely, it depends on the source of the funds of your counterparty. If it is black money, you will still get into trouble if you collect cash off-site, unless you only use the money for offline cash sales. Once it is deposited into your card, the uncle can still track it. E-commerce white money, no matter how you make it, how you transfer money online for consumption and cash withdrawal, there will be no risk.
