A case of virtual currency robbery occurred in Taichung, Taiwan. A 31-year-old currency dealer conspired with his 27-year-old friend to plan a fake transaction and a real robbery, and successfully defrauded and robbed a man of 3.3 million yuan in cash.
Coin dealer transaction turns into robbery
Mr. Liao, 37, originally thought he was about to conduct a Tether (USDT) transaction, but fell into a robbery trap. He was suddenly attacked in his car on Meiqun Road in Dali District and forced to hand over the NT$3.3 million he was carrying.
After receiving the report, the Wufeng Police Station took immediate action and quickly formed a task force to investigate. After locking the vehicle where the crime was committed, suspects Lin and Chen involved in the case were successfully arrested and brought to justice within a short period of time.
Sue Lin revealed during the police investigation that the reason he planned the robbery was because he had huge debts outside and he took the risk out of desperation.
Be wary of the risks of OTC trading of virtual currencies

It reminds us that we must remain vigilant when conducting any form of financial transactions and conduct them through formal and safe channels as much as possible to avoid similar unfortunate incidents.
