Let's see what examples of people being sentenced for working over the wall or speculating in cryptocurrencies in recent years
In recent years, there have been many cases in China where people engaged in virtual currency transactions or worked overseas due to "over the wall", and the income of the relevant personnel was deemed to be illegal income and confiscated. The following two cases are cases that can be found on online merchants:
1. Programmers were fined and confiscated for "over the wall" work: A programmer in Chengde City, Hebei Province, provided technical services to overseas companies by accessing overseas websites through VPN from 2019 to 2022, with an income of 1.058 million yuan. The local public security organs determined that his behavior violated the "Interim Regulations on the Administration of International Networking of Computer Information Networks of the People's Republic of China", and issued a warning, fined him 200 yuan, and confiscated all his income.
2. Sentenced for providing "over the wall" services: On January 29, 2019, the People's Court of Xianning City, Xianning District, Hubei Province sentenced Liu to three years in prison, suspended for four years, and fined him RMB 500,000. Liu Moumou was convicted of providing programs and tools for invading and illegally controlling computer information systems by providing VPN services without authorization and helping others illegally access overseas websites. His illegal gains and tools were confiscated.
These cases show that unauthorized "climbing over the wall" to engage in virtual currency transactions or work overseas may be considered illegal, and the income obtained may also be considered illegal and confiscated.
