ChainCatcher news: Ms. Zhang from Tianjin was scammed out of over 260,000 yuan this month, with the fraudulently obtained money withdrawn in Xingguo County. The Xingguo police acted quickly, arresting 8 criminal suspects and dismantling a virtual currency money laundering "water room" operation, seizing 200,000 yuan in related funds.

It is reported that the suspect Li Mouyuan provided bank accounts to the money laundering gang to assist in their laundering activities and withdrew over 260,000 yuan while knowing that the funds were involved in online illegal activities. After receiving the cash withdrawn by Li Mouyuan, the money laundering gang fled back to Yuzhou, Henan, and handed the involved funds to the virtual currency money laundering "water room" suspect Hou Moupeng. Hou Moupeng then exchanged the over 260,000 yuan in cash obtained from the fraud into virtual currency U offline, transferring it to a designated virtual currency address, ultimately achieving the laundering and whitening of the involved funds.

The police successfully dismantled the money laundering den, arrested multiple suspects, and recovered part of the involved funds.
