According to a recent report by "People's Daily", Feng, a former employee of a short-video platform company in Haidian District, Beijing, colluded with external suppliers by taking advantage of his position. He illegally siphoned off 140 million yuan in bonuses from the company through means such as leaving loopholes in reward policies and leaking internal data. The involved individuals also transferred the stolen funds by registering shell companies and engaging in virtual currency money laundering. Among them, Feng instructed Tang and Yang to convert the fraudulently obtained huge sums into virtual currencies like Bitcoin in batches using 8 different overseas virtual currency trading platforms. To completely cut off the traceability chain of the fund flow, Feng's gang used a more covert "coin mixing" method, which involves confusing the cryptocurrency transaction path through technical means to achieve "privacy" protection. In the end, Feng and 6 others were sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment ranging from 3 years to 14 years and 6 months, along with fines. The judgment has now come into effect.
