According to BlockBeats news on November 8, as reported by Guangming Online, the Ministry of National Security announced a major case involving virtual currency investment and national security. A public official from a classified unit lost money in virtual currency investments and subsequently sold state secrets, ultimately being sentenced to life imprisonment.
Wang was originally a public official at a classified unit and was considered a good young man by his unit and family. Due to significant losses in virtual currency investments, he posted on an online forum seeking part-time work and revealed his identity as a public official. This action attracted the attention of foreign intelligence agencies, who successfully seduced Wang with high remuneration.
The investigation by the national security agency shows that Wang provided top-secret and confidential national secrets to foreign forces. He obtained spy funds equivalent to over 1 million yuan through methods such as virtual currency recharge and trading for cash. Ultimately, Wang was sentenced to life imprisonment for espionage and deprived of political rights for life by the people's court.
