Wuhe County Public Security Bureau cracks down on the use of virtual currency trading platforms to engage in money laundering activities, and three suspects are arrested

On August 29, the Public Security Bureau of Wuhe County, Anhui Province made a precise judgment and took prompt action, successfully cutting off a chain of criminal activities using virtual currency trading platforms as a cover, but in fact engaging in illegal money laundering. The three suspects were finally brought to justice. Taking advantage of the public's hazy perception of virtual currency investment and using the virtual currency trading platform as a cover, the gang ostensibly carried out legitimate investment speculation, but in fact engaged in illegal money laundering. The amount involved in the gang reached tens of millions of yuan, posing an incalculable threat to financial order and social security. By manipulating highly covert scoring software and using bank accounts or third-party payment platforms, scoring gangs use fictitious transactions, decentralized transfers, and other means to "launder" illegally obtained funds, making them appear to be legitimate income. At present, three alleged offenders have been taken compulsory measures according to law.
