Brothers and sisters who mess around with U, look here! In case one day Uncle Hat invites you for tea, don’t panic, it’s basically these three hurdles, have a clear mind first.

Hurdle one: Don’t you know that virtual currency is not protected by law?

Don’t be fooled. Lack of legal protection doesn’t mean you are breaking the law. As long as you are trading by yourself and not guiding others to trade, you have nothing to worry about. And Uncle’s point might just be that if something happens, like you get scammed, Uncle can’t help you recover your coins. You need to understand this. So, openly acknowledge the risk and be willing to bear it.

Hurdle two: You accidentally received dirty money, why should you give it out?

Regarding receiving dirty money, remember, this is not negotiable, it’s procedure. Once the money enters your account and is classified as involved in fraud, it must be returned according to the process. How much to return, how to return it, can be negotiated, and you can even communicate directly with the victim. Once agreed, there’s hope for unfreezing the account. Don’t try to tough it out, it’s pointless.

Hurdle three: Not cooperating will leave a record? Can other accounts still be used?

As long as your attitude is good, all materials are complete, and you can prove the money is clean, usually you won’t be penalized or affect other accounts. But be aware, if your account is a first-level involved account, the outcome can be very bad—blacklisted by banks and police jointly, all accounts under your name may be affected. If it’s a second-level involved account, the impact is small, mainly just freezing that one.

Messing around with U is dancing in the gray area, don’t treat it like shopping on Taobao. No matter the size of the transaction, source of funds and information of the other party must be thoroughly checked. Remember one thing: money with unclear origins, don’t even touch it. Don’t risk your account and reputation for small profits—that’s true loss. #WCTC交易王PK
