The People's Court of Qinzhou District, Tianshui City, Gansu Province recently tried a criminal case involving virtual currency, where the defendant, through a "high-paying errand" job, knowingly withdrew a total of over 390,000 yuan within 7 days in areas without surveillance, and converted the funds into virtual currency to transfer to their superior, profiting 21,500 yuan in the process.

The court determined that the defendant constituted the crime of concealing and disguising criminal proceeds, sentencing them to two years and four months in prison and imposing a fine of 10,000 yuan, as well as ordering the return of illegal gains. The judge reminded that offline cash withdrawals have become a key link in "laundering" telecom fraud proceeds, and that "errand cash withdrawals" and "high-paying daily settlements" are often part of the fraud chain. The public should be vigilant against behaviors such as cash collection, transfers, and assisting in fund transfers to avoid becoming accomplices in crime.
