Virtual money pyramid scheme opens
(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
extended information:

According to the information obtained by China volunteer alliance against pyramid schemes, Baichuan currency is closely related to SMI, MBI, mark currency, dark black currency, mmm, Fuda compound interest financing, carat currency, petroleum currency, Huaqiang currency, etc CB aiib Hong Kong Group, coin Sheng, WorldCom yuan, u-coin, Jubao, 21st century fox, Wanxi financial management, BBT (now renamed Morgan coin after repeated exposure by the media) are all illegal pyramid schemes under the guise of virtual currency.
"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.
