Recently, there is a case worth paying attention to—local police have dismantled an offline cash withdrawal and virtual currency money laundering telecom network scam gang, arresting 6 suspects.
The operation method of this gang is quite typical: they first attract victims through fake online investment scams, then establish a "cash withdrawal team" dedicated to serving overseas scam gangs. The division of labor is as follows—offline collection of the victims' cash, followed by the "U Coin Acceptance Merchant" directly exchanging the scam funds into USDT.
In simple terms, they quickly circulate dirty money through virtual currency channels, increasing the difficulty of tracing. The reason this mode is so rampant is mainly due to the acceptance merchant link—they act as a bridge between fiat currency and crypto assets, allowing black money to seamlessly enter the blockchain world.
A reminder to everyone: if you receive a U Coin transfer request from a stranger, especially involving acceptance or quick withdrawal, be very cautious. Behind this kind of scheme is often the flow of scam funds. Protect yourself and avoid being pulled into the money laundering chain.

Acquirers are really a key link in the money laundering chain; we need to figure out these people.
Be careful with U coin transfers; transactions from strangers are basically suspicious.
This model should have been rectified long ago; the blockchain ecosystem has been made too dirty by these rats.
Offline cash withdrawal paired with virtual coins is truly the standard process for scammers.
Wow, such a professional cash-out convoy, how large must the利益链 behind it be?
To be honest, ordinary retail investors are easily exploited; their awareness of prevention needs to keep up.
USDT acceptance is indeed prone to becoming a tool for money laundering; regulatory oversight must be strengthened.

The acquirers are really ruthless; a quick transfer and it's all cleaned up.
It's USDT again. Why is this coin always used for bad deeds?
I've seen through this trick a long time ago. Offline + on-chain seamless integration, you can't even chase it.
Fortunately, the police acted quickly, or many more people would have been exploited.
Reminder to everyone, really don't get involved in these transfers, be careful not to get caught up.

The acceptance merchant link is truly the lifeblood of money laundering; it should have been cracked down on with a heavy hand long ago.

The acquirer is really a tumor, making black-hearted money and still claiming to be compliant. It's hilarious.

The group of acceptance merchants is really outrageous, just two words—greed
---
U coin transfer requests are directly blacklisted, nothing more to say
---
That's why I never touch the OTC market, too many pitfalls
---
Offline cash withdrawal paired with virtual currency, a full set of black industry operations
---
It seems I need to pay more attention to acceptance merchants, the risk is extremely high
---
I just want to ask, do these acceptance merchants really not know what they are doing
---
Is it so easy for dirty money to enter the crypto circle? No wonder the entire circle is rotten
---
Well done, these parasites should be cleaned out
---
Fast withdrawal requests usually mean trouble, even seasoned veterans know that
---
Bad guys use virtual currency for money laundering, good guys have to take the blame, damn

The acceptance merchant link is really a black hole, with a bunch of dirty money just being laundered like that.
