(Synopsis: Taiwan's Virtual Currency Association issued self-discipline regulations, encryption assets are removed from the shelves, anti-Money Laundering, customer protection points once seen (VASP)) (Background supplement: Taiwan's Financial Regulatory Commission unveiled the "Financial Market Innovation Department", and issued a letter on the same day to warn encryption users: Money Laundering all arrested!) According to China Times, Zhi News and other reports, the second investigation team of the Criminal Bureau investigated Zheng Wu Guorong and Zhang Yalun, and the investigation captain of the Tucheng Branch Huang Qiwei, who was suspected of assisting the "gold tycoon" Tu Chengwen who was wanted in connection with the Money Laundering case of the 88 Guild Hall through USD (USDT), was searched and interviewed by the Taipei District Prosecutor's Office and the New Taipei Jingji Group on 19 routes yesterday. The prosecutors searched the offices and residences of the three officers and interviewed the three officers, as well as the wife and other relatives and friends of the captain surnamed Wong, a total of six people. After the three police officers were interrogated on the night of the North Inspection, they were ordered to pay bail of 500,000 yuan each in accordance with the edict of the Money Laundering Prevention Act, and Huang's wife and other relatives and friends were invited back. How did the three police officers find out that they were "involved in USDMoney Laundering"? The prosecutors found that between 2022 and 2023, the investigation team leader surnamed Zhang, Wu and Huang were suspected of using the Virtual Moneyaccount of themselves and their relatives and friends to assist Tuchengwen Group in Money Laundering. Because the unusually large flow of money attracted the attention of the prosecutors and police, they launched a search and interview. Captain Huang admitted that he had invested 600,000 to 1 million yuan in USD USDT, but strongly denied any illegal use, saying that frequent account entry and exit was normal investment behavior. The Police Department said yesterday that this case was a "self-inspection" of the Inspectorate's Jingji Group to investigate the police's suspected style and discipline case, and found that the relevant personnel were suspected of illegal acts, so they took the initiative to report to the prosecutor of the Taipei District Prosecutor's Office to direct the investigation, and the facts of the case are still to be clarified. The Tucheng Branch responded to the investigation team leader surnamed Huang after being ordered by the prosecutor to pay 500,000 yuan on bail, the preliminary investigation of this case, Huang Yuan during his tenure in the Criminal Bureau between 2022 and 2023 due to a number of abnormal Virtual Money cash flows, the circumstances involved in the case have yet to be clarified, and will first adjust his position pending judicial investigation. The Tucheng Sub-Bureau emphasized that this case is a "self-inspection" case of the Jingji Group of the Supervision Office of the Police Administration and the Tucheng Sub-Bureau, and it adheres to the attitude of not concealing, not conniving, and not protecting shortcomings for police violations of law and discipline. According to the previous chat content, it is believed that Captain Huang is not familiar with Virtual Money, and suspects that he just heard fren say that Virtual Money is easy to earn, and invested under fren's recommendation to "make some small money", but unexpectedly got into trouble, thinking that "who Money Laundering uses his own account". Lock personal data through domestic exchange? Because the investigation is not public, the outside world cannot know how many police officers involved in the case were locked by the prosecution, but it can be speculated that if the person involved uses the domestic encryption exchange for deposit and withdrawal operations, he may be found by the line. Since many domestic exchanges of Compliance have established joint defense mechanisms with banks, if the prosecutor has a high degree of control of several addresses involving Money Lending in 88 guild halls, it can analyze the relevant wallets with strong correlations through financial flow analysis, and if the exchange receives a search ticket, it is necessary to put forward the user's personal resources for the prosecutor to examine, whether it has an affair with the main suspect involved in the real interpersonal relationship, and it is necessary to explain the source and reason of the money outflow. Characteristics of encryptionWallet and the potential risk of "dirty money pollution" It is worth noting that the recent investigation and arrest of cryptocurrency-related cases by the Taipei District Prosecutor's Office has increased significantly, in addition to this case, the Beijing Procuratorate has also entrusted coin flow experts to assist in the analysis of Ke Wenzhe's related cases, showing that the local prosecutor's office has a considerable degree of familiarity and mastery of the field of virtual assets and cryptocurrency, and actively cracks down on the use of Virtual Money Laundering by Money. Virtual Money transactions are anonymous and cross-border, and encryptionWallet is susceptible to "Dirty Money Address" pollution, as long as Wallet has a transaction record, it may be considered to be related to illegal money flow, however, transaction records alone do not necessarily mean that the account is involved in illegal conduct. For example, sometimes malicious people will transfer a small amount of USDT to others' wallets through Airdrop, thereby misleading or implicating innocent users, which also highlights the challenges of cryptocurrency transaction regulation and law enforcement, at present, the case is still in the investigation stage, all the people involved have not yet been convicted by the court, before the final verdict is released, the principle of presumption of innocence should be respected, and the parties should not be judged.
