The case of virtual currency in pyramid selling

1. May involve illegal fund-raising and pyramid selling and other related criminal crimes
(1) at present, there is no regulation to regulate the trading platform, but the trading platform should also fulfill the audit obligation. For example, when online trading various network virtual currencies, it should audit whether the currency is a network virtual currency based on blockchain technology
(2) if the trading platform knows that the online trading currency is suspected of MLM, but in order to collect Commission, it also provides trading services for the currency and promotes its development, once the currency is identified as MLM, the trading platform may have to bear certain legal liabilities
(3) at the same time, a large number of customers' funds are stored in the accounts of virtual currency trading institutions. However, all online virtual currency trading institutions are not qualified to absorb public funds, which makes trading institutions face the potential risk of illegal fund-raising
the 2017 version of the guide to the identification of internet pyramid selling (hereinafter referred to as the guide) lists several differences between virtual currency and pyramid selling currency:
(1) from the perspective of issuing mode, virtual currency does not rely on specific monetary institutions, it is a decentralized issuing mode according to specific algorithms; The MLM currency is mainly issued by a certain institution, and the profit is made by pulling the head
(2) from the perspective of transaction mode, virtual currency is a kind of sporadic transaction spontaneously formed by the market. After the scale is formed, the transaction is graally completed by a third party establishing an exchange, while MLM currency is issued by an institution and traded on its own platform
(3) from the perspective of implementation, virtual currency itself is an open source program, while the open source of MLM currency is completely ing other people's open source code, and there is no use of open source code to build programs, which is essentially controlled by the website as Q coin.

2. For example, the game currency used in online games, in fact, is recharged with real currency, or the game reward (game equipment or level) you get for spending a lot of time and energy in the game. In a sense, it condenses your labor and forms the income of labor, so when others violate your virtual currency in the game, That is, it constitutes a crime
in the form of game fraud, game account theft, etc

3. There are too many virtual money pyramid schemes, which can't be prevented. If you are not careful, you may enter the pyramid scheme circle
the more well-known MLM currencies in the circle, such as Vicat, Baichuan, Morgan and so on. Cloud mining machine, compound interest offer, split offer, mutual aid offer, static income offer and dynamic income offer are also known as typical Ponzi schemes

bitcoin, Leyte coin, doggie coin and the tokens of European crowdfunding platform's crowdfunding projects are the real digital currencies.

4. Buying and selling virtual currency is not protected by law, but some pyramid schemes use virtual currency. Many cheaters have been arrested.

5. I don't know if there are any cases of pyramid selling using bitcoin mining, but there are still cases of fraud using bitcoin mining machine. Last year, with the roller coaster growth of bitcoin price and extensive media coverage, bitcoin has graally entered the public's field of vision. Bitcoin has created a number of myths of overnight wealth. Facing the huge expulsion of interests, bitcoin mining instry has become increasingly popular. However, bitcoin mining machine has a situation of more wolves than meat. Take Avalon mining machine on the market as an example, it was once fried from 8000 thousand yuan to more than 300000 yuan. Since the invention of all hardware solutions for Avalon mining machines except chips, a large number of OEM manufacturers have emerged as the times require, and there are also some fraud activities using pre-sale of mining machines. In April this year, after careful investigation, the Public Security Bureau of Wangcang County in Guangyuan successfully arrested the use of the Internet to sell "bitcoin mining machines" and "bitcoin mining machines" Long Xiaoguang, a suspect who has defrauded 10 yuan in 2 months (alias, male, 27 years old, Donghe Town, Wangcang county), has cracked the first serial use of bitcoin mining machine to conct Internet fraud in Sichuan.

if you want to mine, you still need to buy a professional ASIC miner, because the computing power has been rising. Even if you buy a real miner, if the overall performance of the miner can't keep up, it's hard to recover the cost. Mining machinery is an instry with rapid upgrading. In China, it is suggested that you buy Avalon third generation miner.

6. Belong to MLM, no profit, only loss. According to news reports: at present, a new online pyramid selling mode - "markcoin" is spreading throughout the city. The organization has set up a number of wechat groups, and each group is known as a team. Please do not be fooled
"mark coin" is an upgraded version of "bitcoin". It is a kind of virtual currency and has high value-added in external publicity. Its main mode is: Online introctions and offline participation are required, and each offline will provide its name, e-mail address and mobile phone number to online users, who will help to register. After successful account registration, transfer the corresponding level of money to the company's designated account. Then everyone will give an account and password to log on to the website, and the backstage can see everyone's investment amount and dividend details. On January 18 this year, the company held a meeting in Macao, and most of the participants were Chinese
"markcoin" is similar to some other online pyramid schemes. It is said that the investment is small and the income is high. Although there is a static bonus, if there is any real income, it needs to obtain dynamic awards such as sales award, collision award and algebra award, and to obtain these dynamic awards, it must develop a large number of offline procts
according to the police, at present, there are not only "mark coin" and "bitcoin", but also "black tea", "Baichuan coin", "dark coin", "3M", "carat coin", "petroleum coin", "Huaqiang coin", "U coin", "Morgan coin", "Fuda compound wealth management", "WorldCom", "21st Century Fox" and "Wanxi wealth management". The target of lawbreakers' development is Internet users who are keen on surfing the Internet. The target of lawbreakers' development is graally infiltrating from young people to middle-aged people and unemployed people, luring them to invest in small, big returns and wait for high returns. In fact, the so-called static dividend is just a cover. Many people continue to develop offline in order to earn benefits, which is no different from the traditional pyramid scheme. Moreover, the running cycle of this kind of MLM is short, generally less than a year. When it comes to the rebate peak, the website will be closed directly, causing many people to lose their money.

7. MLM requires pyramid distribution of profits, and it is called MLM if it requires to collect membership fees through the development of offline marketing

8. The loss is basically irreparable. You are willing to buy, both sides are a normal business transaction, not to mention pyramid selling, you also participate in, the police can not file a case. The so-called brainwashing of MLM organizations is not brilliant in nature. What they are deceived by is people's greed and the heart of getting something for nothing.
