Disputes over buying digital currency

1. A number of victims of virtual currency fraud cases distributed all over the country said that they were refused to file a case when reporting to the local police because virtual currency could not be valued and could not reach the starting loss amount of theft or fraud. This situation may be affected by the announcement on preventing the financing risk of token issuance issued by seven ministries and commissions on September 4, 2017 (hereinafter referred to as the announcement). Generally speaking, fraud and other crimes of infringing property rights have the starting point of "large amount" According to the interpretation of the Supreme People's Court on Several Issues concerning the specific application of law in the trial of fraud cases, indivials who defraud public or private property of more than 2000 yuan belong to "large amount". However, the announcement clearly pointed out that "any so-called token financing trading platform shall not provide pricing, information intermediary and other services for token or virtual currency." Therefore, it is difficult for the public security organs to recognize the price of virtual currency displayed on the trading platform, and to estimate the value of virtual currency when the victims encounter virtual currency fraud, so as to determine whether the case meets the filing standard.

2. Illegal fund-raising refers to the behavior that units or indivials raise funds from the public by issuing stocks, bonds, lotteries, investment fund securities or other credit certificates without the approval of relevant departments in accordance with legal proceres, and promise to repay the principal and interest or give returns to the investors in money, material objects or other ways within a certain period of time. Illegal fund-raising is generally punished as illegal absorption of public deposits and fund-raising fraud

If illegal fund-raising is found, it can be reported directly to the Economic Investigation Brigade of the Public Security Bureau.

3. First of all, based on China's relevant policies, ic0 projects and exchanges are all relocated abroad. If the issuance of foreign tokens has no impact on domestic civil or criminal law, then the laws or regulatory rules of other countries will apply, and will not be governed by domestic laws. Investors' rights protection or accountability are concted overseas
secondly, if rights are protected within the territory of our country, according to our legal system, legal liability can be divided into criminal liability, civil liability and administrative liability. In China, the issuance and financing of virtual currency is prohibited, and there is no relevant regulatory agency, so investors can only investigate the criminal and civil liabilities of the corresponding parties
1. Criminal responsibility
however, assuming that there are some cases that may involve criminal crimes, such as online breaking or even later returning to zero, futures trading being manipulated by the platform, and in line with the provisions on jurisdiction in China's criminal law, the corresponding legal provisions should be applied in combination with their criminal acts< According to the provisions of articles 6 to 9 of the criminal law on the principle of criminal jurisdiction, China's criminal jurisdiction can be divided into the following four categories:
(1) territorial principle: if one of the acts or results of a crime occurs within the territory of the people's Republic of China (including ships or aircraft), China's criminal jurisdiction shall apply unless otherwise specified by law< (2) principle of person: if a citizen of our country commits a crime stipulated in this law outside the territory of the people's Republic of China, the criminal law of our country shall apply. However, if the maximum penalty stipulated in this law is fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, he may not be investigated. The criminal law of the people's Republic of China shall apply to any state functionary or serviceman who commits any crime specified in this law outside the territory of the people's Republic of China< (3) principle of protection: If foreigners commit crimes against our country or citizens outside the territory of the people's Republic of China and the minimum penalty prescribed in this law is fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years, the criminal law of our country can be applied, except those who are not punished according to the law of the place where the crime is committed< (4) general principle: This Law shall apply to crimes stipulated in international treaties concluded or acceded to by the people's Republic of China over which the people's Republic of China exercises criminal jurisdiction within the scope of its treaty obligations
for example, there are illegal means in breaking and manipulating the price of virtual currency in the exchange when it goes online. Although virtual currency does not belong to the category of securities recognized by our country, making profits through this illegal way may also violate the charges of illegal sale of token bills, illegal issuance of securities, illegal fund-raising and financial fraud in our criminal law, Then investors can take measures to protect their rights in China, such as reporting to the public security organs
2. Civil liability
in civil and commercial activities, we mainly follow the principles of equality, voluntariness, fairness and good faith. With the development of China's securities market, there are many civil cases in which investors defend their rights to A-share companies. However, because China has not yet included virtual currency into the scope of securities, there is no case of civil liability for manipulating the price of virtual currency, Therefore, it is difficult for investors to protect their rights through civil litigation
in addition, based on the relativity of civil legal relationship, even if the underlying assets and projects of overseas ic0 projects are in China, most of them have built overseas structures, so it is difficult for investors to break through the relative relationship and recover the actual project subject responsibility of ic0.

4. It's illegal to buy and sell digital currency, because no matter whether it's a good digital currency or a currency in circulation in reality, you can't buy and sell it casually

5. According to the state's latest regulations in 2020, trading does not violate the law, but the profits generated by the transaction do not declare personal income tax, which is tax evasion.

6. Well, virtual currency trading has been banned in China for a long time, and no virtual currency has the function of exchange. It is neither allowed nor valuable

7. Bitcoin, lightcoin, bitstocks and so on are all digital currencies
