Chinese court documents show that a 44-year-old suspect named Chen helped launder at least 250 million yuan ($34.4 million) through the personal bank accounts of former executives.

Chinese authorities have uncovered a complex cryptocurrency fraud scheme that stole funds from local banks. National Business Daily, a Chinese financial news outlet, reported that former executives of Bank of Huludao, a northeastern Chinese bank, were involved.

According to the report, a huge amount of funds, amounting to 1.8 billion yuan, or approximately $248 million, was withdrawn from the bank. Court documents show the 44-year-old suspect, named Chen, helped launder at least 250 million yuan ($34.4 million) through the personal bank accounts of former executives.

The scam has raised concerns that the ease of cross-border trading and anonymity of cryptocurrencies is encouraging illegal activities by money launderers. Regulators around the world are trying to address these risks while encouraging innovation in digital assets.

Bank executives embezzled 2.6 billion yuan

A National Business Daily report explains how the suspects carried out their cryptocurrency fraud scheme. In August 2020, two people, including Li Yulin, former party secretary of HuLudao Bank, and former acting president Li Xiaodong, were indicted on charges of embezzling 2.6 billion yuan by manipulating non-performing assets.

After the alleged embezzlement, the report states he tried to cover his tracks. It is known that in September 2020, they converted over 1.8 billion yuan into foreign currency and transferred it to a company bank account in Hong Kong that they managed.

The suspects reportedly purchased cryptocurrency through WeChat groups, including a group called ‘Yongmun Inn’, between September and October 2020. They are known to have sold the cryptocurrency overseas, converted the proceeds into US dollars, and deposited them into a bank account managed by the relevant Hong Kong company.

Chen sentenced in ongoing banking case

Chen, the ringleader of the money laundering charges, was sentenced to two years and three months in prison and a fine of 2 million yuan, but legal proceedings against former bank executives for alleged misconduct are reportedly underway.

A similar case occurred when Chinese student Yang Qichao was sentenced to four years in prison for cryptocurrency fraud. As the regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies continues to evolve, authorities must remain vigilant to prevent the use of digital assets for illicit purposes.
