In the rapid development of Blockchain technology, some unscrupulous individuals are taking advantage of people's enthusiasm for emerging technologies to design elaborate eyewash. Recently, the Minhang District Procuratorate in Shanghai uncovered a shocking Virtual Money fraud case, with the involved amount exceeding 35 million yuan.

In this case, the criminal suspect Wu and others successfully defrauded a large number of investors by issuing a virtual money called GDFC. However, these so-called "innovative coins" are actually worthless and are completely a carefully planned eyewash.

It is worth noting that this kind of eyewash is not an isolated case. In recent years, there has been a rapid increase in fraud cases involving emerging concepts such as virtual money and digital collectibles. Scammers typically package a seemingly high-tech project, issue virtual money, and promote it vigorously through various channels to attract investors. Once they have raised enough funds, they quickly sell off a large amount of pre-stocked tokens and abscond with the money, leaving chaos behind.

In July of this year, the Yunmeng County Procuratorate in Hubei Province also prosecuted a similar eyewash case involving virtual money. In this case, the suspects, including a person named He, used more covert methods by leaving a backdoor in the platform code to secretly manipulate the transactions.

These cases warn us that in the field of digital finance, risks and opportunities coexist. Investors need to remain vigilant, gain a deep understanding of project backgrounds, and approach various "innovative" concepts with caution. At the same time, regulatory authorities should strengthen oversight of the Virtual Money market, establish sound relevant laws and regulations, and curb the breeding of such criminal activities.

In this era of rapid technological advancement, we must embrace innovation while maintaining rationality. Only then can we truly enjoy the benefits brought by technological progress, rather than becoming prey to criminals.
