A Taiwanese couple is suspected of using virtual currency to launder money, involving more than NT$1.6 billion

According to Taiwan media reports, a couple surnamed Li in Taichung is suspected of laundering money for multiple gaming groups, involving more than NT$1.6 billion. The case was recently prosecuted for money laundering and other crimes. In September last year, the police uncovered a gaming room disguised as an advertising company. After analyzing the seized evidence, they found that a 30-year-old man surnamed Li and his wife were suspected of laundering money for about 7 gaming groups. For more than a year, the money laundering room, under the banner of "high salary, ease, and no experience required", recruited members around 20 years old to join, and hid in scattered places. They contacted money laundering through communication software on a daily basis to create investigation breakpoints, and used virtual currency to quickly transfer illegal profits. The police revealed that they have transferred Li and others to the Taichung District Prosecutor's Office for investigation on suspicion of violating the "Organized Crime Prevention Act" and gambling, and seized the houses and other properties under the names of the couple surnamed Li, with a total of more than NT$73.2 million in illegal profits seized.
