Will selling virtual currency get caught

1. There are two reasons for the prohibition of virtual currency trading by the state:
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.

2.

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

extended information:

after the judicial organ reviews the criminal cases or civil disputes, it is the beginning stage of litigation activities that the judicial organ decides to list them as litigation cases for investigation or trial. Generally, it includes criminal cases, administrative cases and civil cases

According to the criminal procere law of the people's Republic of China, there are two conditions for filing a case:

1

The criminal responsibility should be investigated according to law. If there are criminal facts, but the law stipulates that criminal responsibility should not be investigated, the case shall not be filed

under any of the following circumstances, no criminal responsibility shall be investigated and no case shall be filed; If the case has been investigated, the case shall be annulled, or no prosecution shall be instituted, or acquitted

(1) if the circumstances are obviously minor and the harm is not great, it is not considered a crime

(2) the time limit for prosecution has expired

(3) exemption from punishment by special amnesty

(4) in the case of criminal law, it is a crime to be told, but it is not told or withdrawn

(5) the defendant has died

(6) other laws and regulations provide for exemption from criminal responsibility

3.

It is illegal to buy and sell digital currency in China

according to the announcement on preventing the financing risk of token issuance jointly issued by the central bank and other seven ministries and commissions, the announcement points out that any so-called token financing trading platform shall not engage in the exchange business between legal currency and token and "virtual currency", and shall not buy or sell tokens or "virtual currency" as the central counterparties, It is not allowed to provide pricing, information intermediary and other services for token or "virtual currency"

the announcement points out that token issuance financing refers to the so-called "virtual currency" raised from investors through illegal sale and circulation of tokens. In essence, it is an unauthorized illegal public financing behavior, suspected of illegal sale of token tickets, illegal issuance of securities, illegal fund-raising, financial fraud, pyramid schemes and other illegal and criminal activities

extended information:

the central bank said that the so-called "digital currency" in the market is not legal digital currency:

the central bank's monetary Bureau issued a "risk warning on issuing or promoting digital currency in the name of the people's Bank of China" on its official website, saying that recently, indivial enterprises falsely use the name of the central bank, The relevant digital procts are labeled as "authorized issuance by the people's Bank of China", or the central bank's digital currency promotion team is falsely claimed, in an attempt to deceive the public and take the opportunity to make huge profits

the central bank said that the central bank has not issued legal digital currency, nor authorized any institutions and enterprises to issue legal digital currency, and there is no promotion team. At present, the so-called "digital currency" in the market is not legal digital currency. The central bank also suggested that the so-called "digital currency" launched by some institutions and enterprises and the so-called promotion of the central bank's issuance of digital currency may involve pyramid selling and fraud

in fact, virtual currencies such as bitcoin and lightcoin are representatives of the so-called digital currency. The central bank said in 2016 that it was studying China's legal digital currency. Yao Qian, director of the digital currency Research Institute of the people's Bank of China, previously told the media that the prototype scheme for the central bank to issue legal digital currency has completed two rounds of revision, and is expected to be tested in relatively closed application scenarios such as the bill market in the future, but there is no clear timetable for its launch

4. Virtual currency, represented by bitcoin, is legal in China. It is defined as a special Internet commodity. People can buy and sell it 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 ban it

since 203, the more popular virtual currencies are bitcoin, Wright coin, Fuyuan coin, doggy coin, dark coin, reborn coin and so on.

5.

(XIV) crime of covering up or concealing the proceeds of crime or the proceeds of crime
1. If the crime constitutes a crime of covering up or concealing the proceeds of crime or the proceeds of crime, the starting point of sentencing can be determined within the corresponding range according to the following different circumstances:

2. On the basis of the starting point of sentencing, we can increase the amount of penalty according to the amount of crime and other criminal facts that affect the composition of the crime, and determine the benchmark penalty.

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

7. As long as you work hard to make money, it will come true one day
