Lawyer Shao Shiwei interprets "trading virtual assets is listed as one of the ways of money laundering": If you receive stolen money from buying and selling virtual currencies in the future, it depends on the nature of the stolen money. If the source of the funds received is the 7 types of upstream crimes stipulated in the crime of money laundering, it is a crime of money laundering. If the source of the funds received is a crime other than the 7 types of upstream crimes stipulated in the crime of money laundering, it is a crime of concealment. After the implementation of the "Interpretation", the perpetrator will be convicted of the crime of money laundering with a heavier statutory penalty. The release of the "Interpretation" means that my country has taken more stringent measures to combat money laundering crimes and has included virtual currency transactions in the scope of supervision and legal regulation. The release of the "Interpretation" reminds U merchants and ordinary people to be more cautious in the process of virtual currency transactions, ensure the legality of transactions, and avoid inadvertent participation in illegal activities such as money laundering.
Lawyer Liu Yang pointed out that this is the first time that the concept of "virtual assets" appeared in a judicial interpretation, and it was also the first time that it was clearly put forward in the crime of money laundering. Previously, in the new judicial interpretation of illegal fundraising, virtual currency transactions were listed for the first time as one of the illegal ways of absorbing public deposits.
