ChainCatcher news, according to the Workers' Daily report, the Beijing People's Procuratorate has released the work situation of the "Procuratorial Protection for Enterprises" special action and published typical cases. In a case of embezzlement, the defendant defrauded the company of over 140 million yuan, and the procuratorial authorities tracked the virtual currency to recover losses.Between 2020 and 2021, Feng, taking advantage of his position at a certain technology company's service provider and regional operations growth department, conspired with Tang and Yang to defraud the company of service provider bonuses totaling over 140 million yuan. Subsequently, Feng directed Tang and Yang to use eight overseas virtual currency trading platforms to convert the involved funds from yuan to virtual currency, obfuscating the source and nature of the funds through overseas "mixing" platforms, and transferring them in multiple layers. Part of the involved funds flowed into accounts controlled by Feng and others in yuan form, while some were concealed by Feng and others in virtual currency form.In response to the defendants' distribution of profits using virtual currency and the obfuscation of fund flows through overseas "mixing" platforms, the procuratorial authorities conducted a line-by-line comparison and two-way review of virtual currency and legal tender, accurately identifying the flow of funds.
