According to Wu Shuo, the Jiangsu Provincial Court announced 7 typical cases of drug crimes and secondary drug-related crimes. In one case, criminal Li Gang received drug money through USDT, and then sold USDT for RMB. Li Gang was sentenced to three years in prison. These cases show that criminals are increasingly using "Internet + logistics + electronic payment" to conduct drug transactions.
Guangdong Procuratorate also announced a drug crime case in which Tang sold marijuana and required payment for the drugs to be made in virtual currency. After confirming receipt of the drug money, Tang placed the drugs in the toilet seat of a restaurant in Shenzhen. Tang converted the virtual currency he received into RMB through a virtual currency trading platform, and then transferred the funds to Alipay, and then deleted the virtual currency trading platform software and transaction records. Tang was sentenced to six months in prison and fined RMB 2,000 for drug trafficking and money laundering.
