Family Member Involved in a Virtual Currency Fraud Case? First, Consider These 5 Critical Questions That Determine Life and Death

When a loved one is implicated in a virtual currency fraud case, families often face confusion and panic. However, not all such cases are straightforward scams. These operations typically involve a structured chain with platform operators, technicians, promoters, agents, and trading instructors. Each role has varying levels of involvement, knowledge, and legal exposure. Key factors determining whether the case constitutes fraud include: 1. **Investor Awareness**: Duration of investment, profit history, and independent decision-making ability can indicate whether users were truly deceived. 2. **Platform Data Authenticity**: Whether trading data is real or manipulated determines if losses resulted from market volatility or intentional fraud. 3. **Cause of Losses**: High-frequency trading, leverage, or user behavior may contribute to losses independently of platform actions. 4. **Revenue Structure**: Income from fees or spreads differs significantly from profit-sharing based on client losses, which suggests fraudulent intent. 5. **Withdrawal Capability**: If users can freely deposit and withdraw funds—especially if some profited—it challenges the "illegal possession" element of fraud. Court rulings often hinge on evidence proving data manipulation, controlled outcomes, or restricted withdrawals. Without such proof, fraud charges may not hold. Early case assessment should focus on clarifying individual roles, financial flows, and factual details rather than presuming guilt. Professional legal evaluation is critical to identify defense opportunities, including innocence, lesser charges, or case dismissal.

The 'Abnormal' Business of U Merchants? Defense Points and Boundaries of Determination for Three Major Charges

In a case involving a U merchant trading USDT (Tether) with transactions worth billions, the defendant was accused of illegal foreign exchange operations using virtual currency. Despite the large scale and use of multiple bank accounts, which authorities viewed as suspicious, the author argues that the defendant’s actions do not constitute crimes such as illegal business operations, concealing criminal proceeds, or assisting information network crimes. The article explains that OTC trading of virtual currencies like USDT is not illegal in China, and many platforms and individuals engage in it legally. The key is whether the trader knowingly facilitated illegal activities, such money laundering or illegal forex transactions. For illegal business operations, conviction requires proof that the defendant knowingly assisted in illegal forex exchanges, as in a cited case where the defendant helped convert foreign currency to RMB via USDT. For concealing criminal proceeds, the author emphasizes that the funds involved are often the principal amounts from transactions, not criminal profits, so merely handling these funds does not meet the legal definition. For assisting information network crimes, the crime must involve online illegal activities; if forex transactions occur offline despite online communication, it doesn’t qualify. The conclusion stresses the need for strict legal scrutiny and avoiding presumption of guilt based solely on transaction scale or methods.

Virtual Currency Exchange Charged with Operating a Gambling Den: How Can Lawyers Successfully Defend HR, BD, and Other Positions? (Including a 10,000-Word Legal Opinion)

English Summary: This article by lawyer Shao Shiwei addresses the increasing criminal prosecution of virtual currency exchanges in China for operating gambling establishments, specifically focusing on defenses for employees in roles like HR and BD. The author, drawing from cases in late 2025 and ongoing into 2026, highlights the complexity of these cases, which blend legal, policy, and social considerations rather than being purely legal matters. The core defense strategy proposed is to pursue an "innocence defense" to achieve practical outcomes like reduced sentences, probation, or non-prosecution. This involves rigorously arguing that the case is not a traditional gambling operation, particularly challenging the classification of financial products like "perpetual contracts" as gambling. It also emphasizes the lack of subjective intent for employees in technical, operational, or support roles who couldn't reasonably foresee their work being deemed criminal. The defense "combination punch" includes combining in-court and out-of-court strategies, meticulous cross-examination of evidence (especially forensic and audit reports), identifying gaps in the prosecution's case against legal standards, and focusing on procedural details to argue insufficient evidence. A key risk warning is extended to all Web3 professionals in China—including developers, designers, HR, BD, and客服—who may face criminal investigation if their platform is targeted, urging careful risk assessment before employment. The article concludes by questioning whether perpetual contracts constitute gambling, stressing the need for case-specific analysis and that the prosecution bears the burden of proof. It includes excerpts from a defense document for reference) and disclaims providing specific legal advice.
