A couple in Taiwan was accused of using virtual currency to transfer money laundering and illegal profits, involving more than 1.60 billion New Taiwan dollars
On August 27th, according to the People's Political Consultative Conference Network, China News Agency reported that according to Taiwan media, a couple surnamed Li in Taichung was suspected of laundering money for multiple game groups, involving more than 1.60 billion New Taiwan dollars. The whole case was recently prosecuted for money laundering and other crimes. The police cracked the game room under the cover of an advertising company in September last year. After analyzing and seizing the evidence, it was found that the 30-year-old man surnamed Li and his wife were suspected of laundering money for about 7 game groups. For more than a year, under the banner of "high salary, ease, and experience-free", the money laundering water room recruited members around 20 years old to join, and scattered and hid. They contacted money laundering through communication software every day to create detection breakpoints and use virtual currency to quickly transfer illegal profits.
The police revealed that they had transferred Li and others to the Taichung District Prosecutor's Office for investigation on suspicion of committing crimes such as the "Organized Crime Prevention Regulations" and gambling, and seized property such as houses in the names of Li and his wife, for a total of more than 73.2 million Taiwan dollars in illegal profits.
