Virtual currency platform arrested
1. The price fluctuates violently and the consumer protection is lacking:
virtual currency is the proct of network, and the digital information flowing in the network is beyond the control of all people. The code of cyberspace is the basis of the operation of virtual currency, investors can only operate through the front-end interface, seemingly "control" the virtual currency. The operator of the virtual currency service organization may become the actual controller of the virtual currency through the control code<
2. Avoiding supervision and becoming the "accomplice" of criminal activities
virtual currency transaction is not protected by law:
virtual currency transaction is not illegal, and it is not illegal to invest in virtual currency. But how to get involved in virtual currency transactions is illegal and illegal. It may be suspected of illegal fund-raising.
(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.
It is not likely that the public security organ will file a case of virtual currency transaction fraud, because the virtual currency transaction fraud generally involves a large number of people, a wide range, a small amount and strong anonymity
it is difficult for the public security organs to collect evidence and arrest, because most of the information of the Chuangshi operation team of the virtual currency scam is not public and there is no way to collect evidence. Maybe the mastermind will become a victim after being arrested
with the popularity of virtual currency, disputes related to it appear frequently. Recently, the people's Court of Futian District in Shenzhen tried a dispute caused by investment in virtual currency. The court reminded that the investment transaction of virtual currency is not protected by law, and investors should keep sober and rational

It's not illegal
For example,
-
the virtual currency represented by bitcoin is legal in China, which is defined as a special Internet commodity, and people can buy and sell freely at their own risk
-
but it is illegal to carry out pyramid schemes under the guise of bitcoin. Now to create a virtual currency trading platform, we must record the website and implement real name authentication for users
-
bitcoin is legal in most countries around the world, except that some small countries explicitly prohibit bitcoin
< / OL >
since 2003, the more popular virtual currencies are bitcoin, Laite coin, Fuyuan coin, doggy coin, Diablo coin, reborn coin and so on
the standards for filing criminal cases vary from place to place, but they are basically more than 3000 yuan. The amount of $1300 is not enough for criminal cases, so it can only be put on file as an illegal act of public security
the problem is that law and order violations are usually the work of local police stations. In the case of network fraud, local police stations can do nothing but report to the police. It's hard to say what the situation is.
