Legal Risks of Cryptocurrency Trading and the Possibility of Acquittal under USDT Transactions
In the field of virtual currency trading, once legal disputes arise, especially when detained by public security authorities in other regions for "fraud" or "concealing and hiding criminal proceeds and their profits," it is crucial to understand the possible circumstances of acquittal. Here are some situations that may be deemed not guilty:
1. Normal transactions with legitimate USDT traders:
If you conduct transactions with legitimate USDT traders, and the trading behavior follows market rules without obvious anomalies, it is difficult to prove that you participated in the other party's criminal activities. In this case, you may not face criminal liability.
2. Victim subsequently transferring coins to the scammer:
If the trading party is a victim who, after purchasing USDT, transfers the tokens to the scammer for personal reasons, and you only completed a legitimate transaction, it does not constitute a crime.
3. Victim directly transferring coins to the scammer:
When the trading party purchases your USDT and directly transfers it to the scammer, you need to cooperate with the investigation to prove that the transaction process is without anomalies. This includes reasonable transaction prices, clear records, and that you have fulfilled necessary due diligence obligations. If there are no anomalies and you did not suspect the other party's criminal behavior, you may be deemed not guilty.
4. No anomalies in transactions with the "fleet":
When trading with a "fleet" involving significant capital growth, the key is to judge whether the transaction is abnormal. If the transaction price is reasonable, there are no frozen account records, no secret communication tools were used, and your trading behavior is compliant without criminal intent, you may be deemed not guilty.
Important Reminder:
Every case has its unique facts and evidence background, and whether to convict or not must consider all circumstances comprehensively. In the face of such legal issues, it is strongly recommended to seek the help of a professional lawyer to provide sufficient legal basis and evidence to protect one's legal rights.
