theChinese Authorities against cryptocurrency. New stage of the struggle
The Investigation was carried out in Guangdong province: police have arrested 540 suspects in the scheme, which represented 20 different criminal gangs.
Part of the money the fraudsters were able to spend or cash: the government froze their accounts of only $ 5 million in RMB and $ 1.4 million in the cryptocurrency.
Police blocked 70 mobile apps and websites with illegal bookmakers, as well as 230 groups in social networks and messengers through which the suspects promoted the sweepstakes. In just eight months, rates have made 330 thousand users.
Bookmakers are banned in China. Limited to a first government introduced the 50-ies of the last century, and operations with digital money became illegal last year.
