Many people were charged with helping credit for using the underground industry trading platform to trade "U coins" to earn the price difference
According to the "Procuratorial Daily", the current means of assisting information network crimes are constantly changing, and cases of telecommunications network fraud caused by virtual currency have also occurred from time to time.
In June this year, the alleged offender Yang logged in to the underground industry trading platform "Huiwang" through a chat software, and joined the chat group for buying and selling virtual currency "U coins" on the platform. Subsequently, Yang, Jin and He jointly invested 220,000 yuan, and Yang purchased the virtual currency from a "U merchant" in the group at a price three cents lower than the platform transaction price, and deposited it in the "U merchant" account to receive the task. The so-called task is to help "U merchants" sell "U coins" and collect sales funds. On June 8, Yang was instructed by the "U merchant" to collect 220,000 yuan in cash from the victim Gao by selling "U coins" together with Jin and He, and then put 220,000 yuan in cash to the designated location of the "U merchant". The "U merchant" then transferred money to Yang's "U coin" account in the form of "U coin" to pay the reward, and the three made a total profit of 3,800 yuan.
