(1) Introduction to the case.
Wan Moumou is an employee of a technology company and usually conducts virtual currency transactions. In the course of a USDT transaction, Wan Moumou met Wang, and Wang told him that his friend also wanted to buy USDT from Wan, so the two reached an agreement: after Wan Moumou received the agreed RMB in his bank account, he transferred the corresponding amount of virtual currency USDT to the wallet address designated by Wang.
Soon after, Wan Moumou received a notice from the police station of his place of household registration: Wang's friend reported to the public security organs that he had been defrauded, and the public security listed Wan Moumou as a fugitive from the Internet, and believed that he was suspected of aiding information network criminal activities. Wan Moumou decided to take the initiative to communicate with the case-handling organ, and since there was no direct flight, he discussed with the case-handling unit that he would take a flight to the transit place first, and then go to the case-handling organ. However, because the case-handling organ did not contact the public security at the transit place in a timely manner, Wan Moumou was controlled by the public security at the transit place after the first flight landed.
2) The process of effective defense.
After Wan XX was controlled by the public security at the place of transit, his family was told by the public security at the place where the case was handled that they would not be released until 15 days later. As a result, Wan Moumou's family contacted Liu Lei's lawyer team as soon as possible, and after preliminary communication with the team's lawyer Ying Pengfei, they decided to entrust lawyer Ying Moumou to defend Wan Moumou in this case. After lawyer Ying accepted the entrustment, with his active intervention, Wan Moumou was quickly dismissed by the public security of the place where the case was handled. After that, lawyer Ying went to the place where the case was handled to meet with Wan Moumou, and after further understanding the relevant facts of the case, lawyer Ying proposed to the case-handling authority: It is not illegal to trade virtual currency in China at present;And although Wan Moumou traded with Wang and his friends, he still subjectively did not know about the relationship between the two, the funds, and the purpose of purchase, and there was no subjective intent to commit a crime.
From the above perspectives, Mr. Ying wrote and submitted legal opinions and opinions on bail pending trial. After many communications between the lawyer of Liu's team and the case-handling unit, Wan Moumou was finally released on bail pending trial on the 21st day after being detained, more than half a month earlier than the 37-day period stipulated by law.
(1) Introduction to the case.
Under the introduction of a friend, Huang Moumou began to contact the contract trading of virtual currency, and often shared his investment experience and transaction screenshots in the circle of friends. After Zhang saw the relevant circle of friends, he asked Huang Moumou about the investment method, and Huang Moumou told Zhang the ** and investment method of the virtual currency trading platform, and shared *** to Zhang.
Because Zhang shared the *** platform through Huang, some of the handling fees incurred by Zhang in the transaction process on the platform will be returned to Huang. Soon after, the public security organ at the place where the case was handled detained Huang on suspicion of aiding the crime of illegal business operation. and asked Huang to return the 1.3 million yuan involved in the case before considering whether to release him on bail pending trial.
2) The process of effective defense.
After Huang was detained, his wife immediately appointed a lawyer to intervene, but failed to achieve a good defense effect. Huang's wife learned through the online platform that Liu Lei's lawyer team has rich professional knowledge and practical experience in handling virtual currency cases, so she contacted our team, and after communication, she decided to entrust the team to defend the team. After accepting the commission, Mr. Ying immediately went on a business trip to arrange a meeting, and issued a legal opinion from the interpretation of the virtual currency contract trading model, its difference from the real market, and the fact that the contract business will not damage the legal interests protected by the crime of illegal operation.
After submitting a legal opinion, lawyer Ying communicated with the case-handling agency on "whether Huang Moumou constituted the crime of illegal business operation". After three days of unremitting communication with the lawyers of Liu's team, Huang Moumou was finally released on bail pending trial and reunited with his family on the premise that he did not have to return the 1.3 million yuan involved in the case.
As a matter in an emerging field, virtual currency is easy to be characterized as illegal and criminal by the case-handling authorities. Therefore, the lawyer reminds that if you are involved in a relevant case, you must consult a professional lawyer as soon as possible to clarify the legal relationship, locate the main dispute points, and have the lawyer provide professional legal advice to resolve the legal risk as soon as possible. In the future, Liu Lei's lawyer team will continue to work in the industry and strive for the most beneficial results for the parties with professional legal services.
