Why is buying and selling U always 'stepping on landmines'? Understand this article and have a way to avoid risks!

Many people think that buying and selling USDT (U) is just a simple 'profit margin', but in fact, there are huge legal risks hidden behind it. Since 2025, more than 120 related cases have been investigated nationwide, with an amount involved as high as 4 billion yuan. Many people have been held criminally responsible for trading on behalf of others or lending accounts for receipt, even if they claim to be 'unaware'. If you are also engaged in OTC trading, be sure to remember the following key information!

⚠️ High-risk behaviors, absolutely do not touch!

- Buying and selling U on behalf: Easily suspected of 'concealment and hiding of criminal proceeds'. If the funds from the other party are from fraud, gambling, or other illicit sources, you may face a prison term of less than 3 years; in severe cases, you could be sentenced to 3-7 years.

- Lending bank cards or receiving payments: May constitute 'aiding and abetting crime'. Lending accounts for commission or assisting in transfers, once the amount involved reaches a certain standard, can be sentenced to up to 3 years.

- High-frequency, large-scale OTC transactions: May violate 'illegal business operations'. Frequent trading through informal platforms or communities, or operating with someone else's account/cash, may be suspected of illegal business operations and subject to fines.

🔍 Situations where 'unawareness' cannot completely exempt responsibility:

- Previously had accounts frozen due to trading, yet continued to operate;

- Trading prices are obviously unreasonable, deviating from market prices;

- Communicating about trades using encrypted software like Bat or Telegram.

🛡️ Practical risk avoidance advice:

1. Verify the source of funds, refuse non-real-name transfers;

2. Control trading frequency and scale, with single transactions not exceeding 50,000, and monthly flow below 200,000;

3. If encountering a frozen account, immediately stop trading and seek professional legal support.

When operating USDT transactions, be sure to stay clear-headed and uphold the bottom line. Not being greedy for small profits and avoiding unclear funds is the way to long-term success. #出金
