Virtual currency worth 200,000 yuan was stolen. The woman reported the case to the police and recovered all the money (from Coinsradar.net)
Liu Jun, a police officer on duty at the Criminal Investigation Brigade of the Public Security Bureau of Shapingba District, received an unusual theft case. The stolen items were not physical objects such as mobile phones, computers, and cash, but virtual currencies that exist in the online world.
"In recent years, new and popular words such as virtual currency and blockchain have emerged in an endless stream. Although I have come across these words online and have some understanding of the relevant content, this is the first time I have handled a case involving virtual currency in real work." Liu Jun quickly joined his comrade-in-arms Wang Xiang in the investigation of this case.
By checking the transaction records of Ms. Wang's virtual currency account, Liu Jun found that all transaction transfer operations in the account were completed by this account, and there was no sign of hackers forcibly stealing.
Subsequently, Liu Jun and Wang Xiang helped Ms. Wang gradually recall the whole process of the theft of virtual currency, and found clues in Ms. Wang's statement.
It turned out that Ms. Wang's boyfriend Zhang not only knew that Ms. Wang held virtual currency, but also knew the account and password of Ms. Wang's virtual currency wallet.
Combined with Ms. Wang's wallet login situation and Zhang's recent abnormal behavior, the police judged that Zhang was a major suspect and quickly arrested him.
After interrogation, Zhang truthfully confessed that he used the account and password he knew in advance to log in to the virtual currency wallet and stole Ms. Wang's virtual currency. At present, Zhang has been taken criminal compulsory measures in accordance with the law.
After investigation, Ms. Wang was stolen 20,000 USDT coins and 32 0SK coins, with a value of more than 200,000 yuan.
In order to help Ms. Wang recover her losses, Liu Jun and Wang Xiang conducted legal education for Zhang and encouraged him to return the stolen money as soon as possible in order to get a lighter punishment. After Liu Jun and Wang Xiang's patient persuasion, Zhang returned more than 200,000 yuan of stolen money to Ms. Wang in full.
