💥 Crypto Scandal in Uzbekistan: Teenager Detained for Cryptocurrency Exchange!
🇺🇿 The Ministry of Internal Affairs of Uzbekistan detained a 17-year-old resident of Bukhara, who conducted over 4000 operations on Binance in 7 months, with a turnover of 34 billion sums ($2.6 million).
💡 How it happened:
🔹 The teenager was likely engaged in P2P exchange via Telegram, charging a fee for mediation.
🔹 Most of the funds came from payroll and credit cards, raising suspicions of money laundering.
🔹 The investigation continues, and the subject faces serious legal proceedings.
⚖️ From January 2024, strict laws have been introduced in Uzbekistan:
🔹 Fines and sentences for illegal crypto operations.
🔹 Mandatory registration for providers.
🔹 Blocking of unlicensed platforms.
💥 And this is not the first case:
🔸 The Binance exchange has already been fined for operating without a license.
🔸 In June, players and traders, including fans of Hamster Kombat, faced arrests.
🤔 What's next? If they detain for P2P exchange, what will happen if someone buys Pepe? Execution? 😅
