985 Scholar Earns 18 Million from Cryptocurrency Trading, Ends Up Being Taken Away by Police on Withdrawal Day...

Do you think making money means you’ve won?

Wrong, most people fall before the withdrawal.

This is not a joke, but a true case that has recently spread wildly in the cryptocurrency circle.

A trade that seemed like 'a pie falling from the sky'

Directly landed someone in the police station.

The time is March 2025,

The place is a male dormitory at a certain 985 university in Guangzhou.

The protagonist is a seasoned cryptocurrency trader who started to get involved with digital currency during college. With a bit of insight, a bit of courage, and some luck, in three years, he racked up 18 million in profits in his account.

He thought he had turned his life around,

Little did he know, a transaction of 'selling USDT at a high premium' completely cost him his freedom.

That day, he received a quote on an OTC platform, the buyer offered a price 5% higher than the market, he said: 'If I don't make money, then who will?'

So he happily traded.

Twenty minutes later, the police knocked on the door.

Computer, phone, hard drive were all confiscated, and he was taken away on the spot, the reason being—suspected money laundering.

He was bewildered: 'I trade cryptocurrencies legally and pay taxes, how did my money become illicit funds?'

Sorry, even if you didn't know, you are being 'used' for money laundering.
