An investor with 900,000 USDT is preparing to cash out through offline cash transactions. Small-scale testing and cash verification have been conducted with extreme caution at every step, yet they still fell into a carefully designed trap. Ultimately, not only did the virtual currency vanish into a black hole, but the 900,000 in cash on the table also ended up untraceable due to lack of evidence..."#BabyMarvin合约
This is not an isolated case. As virtual currency trading becomes increasingly popular, cases of money laundering by criminals using various methods are emerging one after another, causing many legitimate traders to be implicated. For instance, there have been recent cases where investors had their accounts frozen by 43 public security departments simultaneously after cashing out 2 million, with no end in sight for the unfreezing process.
Due to the various risks associated with online trading, more and more people are turning to offline cash transactions. However, what seems to be a safe offline transaction hides even greater dangers.
Recently, a typical case occurred: an investor holding 900,000 worth of USDT prepared to cash out. To avoid the risk of account freezing, they were introduced to a buyer for an offline cash transaction. The trading process appeared rigorous: a small-scale test was conducted to confirm the address, cash verification was done to ensure the money was real, and everything seemed perfect. However, problems soon arose - after the seller completed the transfer of the remaining USDT, the buyer immediately uninstalled the wallet software and denied receiving any coins.
Even more concerning is that the buyer had already set up a trap: all communication was done through Telegram, leaving no trace and allowing for the deletion of chat history by both parties. After reporting to the police, although the 900,000 in cash was seized, due to lack of evidence, this money will ultimately return to the hands of the scammer through legal procedures.#BabyMarvin合约f9c7
