According to Foresight News, in August of this year, a public security agency in a certain domestic area determined that the behavior of circumventing the firewall to trade virtual currency is illegal, and the involved personnel were administratively punished, with profits from trading confiscated. The public security agency in a certain domestic area found that Zhang San, by using a VPN to circumvent the firewall, unauthorizedly used an illegal channel for international internet access, contacted overseas clients needing to purchase a certain virtual currency through a certain foreign website, then traded on an overseas APP using a certain currency to buy the virtual currency at a low price and finally sold it at a high price, engaging in the sale of a certain virtual currency. After being summoned by the public security agency, Zhang San came to accept the investigation. During the operation of the studio, Zhang San illegally profited 90,000 yuan, and the tools used in the crime (eight mobile phones and eight computers) were all provided by Zhang San.
