Odaily Planet Daily News Recently, the police in Maiji District, Tianshui City, traveled to 5 provinces and 9 cities, and destroyed a virtual currency money laundering gang in the entire chain, arrested 13 criminal suspects, and recovered more than one million yuan in stolen money. The Criminal Investigation Brigade of the Public Security Bureau of Maiji District, Tianshui City, previously received a report from a local resident named Zhang, saying that his 770,000 yuan was "robbed" by a strange man. After investigation, it was found that Zhang was actually a victim of "pig killing". After being brainwashed by the "online husband", he helped the fraud gang to launder money, cashed out the stolen money and exchanged it for virtual currency according to the instructions of the "husband". During the transaction, the currency dealer "blackmailed" the stolen money due to uneven distribution of the spoils, and then absconded with more than 700,000 yuan in cash for Tether (USDT). After investigation, the police found that a professional money laundering gang headed by Feng and He was laundering money all over the country, laundering the stolen money from telecommunications fraud through virtual currency transactions, and then transferring it abroad. In order to prevent the fraudulent proceeds from flowing out of the country, the police of the task force acted quickly and rushed to Weinan, Xianyang, Shaanxi, Wuhan, Hubei, Nantong, Jiangsu and other places to make arrests overnight. After traveling through 5 provinces and 9 cities, the police arrested all 13 criminal suspects of the money laundering gang and recovered more than 330,000 yuan in cash and more than 90,000 yuan in Tether (about 700,000 yuan). At present, criminal compulsory measures have been taken against the 13 criminal suspects in accordance with the law, and the case is under further investigation. (Lanzhou Daily)
