         We are in an era where Internet finance and blockchain cryptocurrency are advancing by leaps and bounds, and we are also in an era where Internet finance and blockchain cryptocurrency crimes are at their peak. We are in an era when Internet finance and blockchain cryptocurrency are rewriting global financial and banking history, and we are also in an era when global Internet finance and blockchain cryptocurrency crimes are becoming large-scale organizational crimes.  According to incomplete statistics, in 2021, the Internet finance and blockchain cryptocurrency crimes involve an amount of $10.5 billion globally,  soaring 700% higher than the year 2020, and it will continue to skyrocket if the situation remains uncontrolled in the following years.  It’s fair to say that if the decentralization of Internet finance and cryptocurrency today is challenging the traditional operation mode of central banks world-wide, and the large-scale operation of Internet finance and cryptocurrency crimes are also challenging the traditional stress mechanism of the polices, as well as challenging the current legal systems globally.  

 

         Global Internet financial crimes, especially blockchain cryptocurrency crimes, have rapidly increased and aggravated in recent years, and have become more and more intense. Hundreds of thousands of Internet virtual currency exchanges have sprung up. Thousands of people who have been defrauded are extremely helpless, some of them lost fortunes and ruin their families … Needless to say, this crime occurrence today is inversely proportional to the inefficiency of the police in solving Internet financial crimes. Such a low crime detection rate and low cost of conducting this particular type of crime have made today's Internet finance a hard-hit zone for global fraud gangs that are rampant in the world. A large number of online financial fraud crimes have not been investigated, the tremendously high amount of funds has not been recovered, and hundreds of thousands of fraudsters have gone unpunished. It has become a social phenomenon that occurs every hour and minute.  The fraudsters, who have been hiding behind the screen, never stop enjoying the wounds of those helpless sufferers and mocking the incompetence of the polices from all over the world.  The negative feedback information they have gathered is attracting or driving more marginalized people to join the fraudsters’ gang and are making the current Internet financial fraud a large-scale, transnational crime and a stylish profession after drug manufacturing and human trafficking. 

​
