I made quite a lot of money in the crypto world. If I withdraw, will the bank question the source of the money? If it was before 2016, and your bank card received less than ten million, absolutely no one would ask you. Now it's 2024, even if your wallet receives 50U of black U, it will be frozen as soon as it enters the exchange, let alone your bank card. Now even amounts over 50,000 require a phone call to verify the situation. I used to be a U trader and even developed courses for U trading. I am very clear about this industry. Let me tell you about it. Let's assume you made seventy to eighty million. Never sell on platforms; you will definitely encounter dirty money or suspected dirty money, which can easily lead to payment stops or freezes. If you encounter judicial freezes, with a significant amount of first-level dirty money, you might go directly to jail. For second-level dirty money, if you sell U with insufficient evidence or obviously deviating from market price, you might also go to jail. If the amount is not large, just a few tens of thousands, then generally it will be frozen for six months, but this depends on the nature of the other party's funds. If it involves gambling or drugs, the release could take an indefinite amount of time and could likely be confiscated. If it involves fraud, you might end up with a small compensation or an extended freeze for another six months. Still, don’t sell on platforms and don’t trade with strangers whose names don’t match. My solution is to exchange with friends within the circle; funds must be settled for seven days, and do not exchange with anyone you are not familiar with. Or you can start your own business; merchants can qualify to check transaction flows and demand screenshots. Of course, there’s a possibility of image editing, so this needs to be compared before and after. If the names don’t match or the screenshots are incorrect, return them immediately. Don’t have any lucky thinking. What the market calls MasterCard or Hong Kong card can all be done, but the fees are 1-2.5%. If you are willing to accept such losses, there are many people willing to give you clean money. Why bother with Hong Kong cards or multi-currency cards? The money you made in the crypto world will not be confiscated as long as it was earned legitimately through trading. If you have a clear path, you can deposit it in the bank, of course, I’m talking about amounts under 100 million. Once it exceeds 100 million, you know it’s not easy to handle.
Buying and selling U currency faces huge risks: If you try to purchase USDT through Alipay, WeChat, or bank card, the police may suddenly call you or even show up at your door. Don't get me wrong, this does not mean you have done anything illegal, but rather the system automatically marks your transaction as "high risk" or "money laundering fraud," like being unfairly targeted as a suspect, which is extremely frustrating. Bank accounts become ticking time bombs: As long as your account receives funds from unknown sources, especially money coming from over-the-counter sales from exchanges, your account may be frozen. Want to unfreeze it? You have to go to the police station to get a certificate. If you cannot explain clearly, you might even face charges of "aiding information network crimes," and the money in your account could be legally confiscated. Panic caused by policy enforcement: Anti-fraud has become an important task for the government, and grassroots police also have case quotas to complete. USDT trading has become a key target for crackdowns. Even if you are a law-abiding citizen, the police will still freeze your bank card first and wait for you to prove your innocence. Black market makes the cryptocurrency world more dangerous: Nowadays, nine out of ten telecom frauds use USDT for money laundering. Ordinary people trading U currency are like counting money at a drug transaction scene, and they can be mistakenly judged as criminals at any time. The police cannot distinguish, and they directly freeze transactions, leading to an increasingly severe environment in the cryptocurrency world where ordinary players dare not act recklessly. The rules of the game have completely changed: Want to buy coins? As soon as the payment code appears, the payment function is blocked; want to sell coins? The bank card is instantly frozen, and then the police come knocking; even using an overseas card for transactions may be labeled as "illegal currency exchange," getting you into trouble you cannot escape from. Exchanges become stagnant: This "freezing storm" has made many old players hesitant to act, and new players have even lost the courage to enter the market. Exchanges are lifeless, and the market has become utterly abandoned. All trading is blocked in front of virtual barriers, making transactions difficult.
