据 BlockBeats 报道，中国青岛警方正准备深入调查一起涉及加密稳定币 USDT 的相当复杂的网络犯罪案件。

Police in Qingdao, China, are preparing to delve deeper into a convoluted cybercrime case involving the cryptocurrency stablecoin USDT, with nine suspects detained and approximately 8 million yuan (⁓$1.2 million) in illicit funds frozen.

中国青岛警方正准备深入调查一起涉及加密货币稳定币 USDT 的复杂网络犯罪案件，已拘留 9 名嫌疑人，并冻结了约 800 万元人民币（120 万美元）的非法资金。

According to BlockBeats, the case unfolded when officers from the Madian Police Station of the Jiaozhou Public Security Bureau received intelligence in February regarding a fugitive suspect, identified as Xue, who was heavily involved in telecom fraud and had resurfaced in Jiaozhou.

据BlockBeats报道，此案是在2月份胶州市公安局马店派出所民警接到情报时发现的，一名涉嫌电信诈骗的逃犯薛某在胶州重新出现。

By February 24, the police had apprehended Xue and discovered suspicious messages on his phone, indicating a partnership with another individual in a fraudulent scheme.

2月24日，警方逮捕了薛某，并在他的手机上发现了可疑信息，表明他与另一人合伙实施了诈骗计划。

Investigations revealed that Xue had been using his connections to establish companies and open public accounts, which he then transferred to his partner. These accounts often featured names related to "study abroad," and Xue was promised substantial compensation for his role.

调查显示，薛一直利用自己的关系创办公司并开设公众账户，然后将其转让给其合伙人。这些账户经常出现与“出国留学”相关的名字，薛被承诺为他的角色提供巨额报酬。

The trail of USDT transactions led the police to Xue's partner, identified as Kuang, who was arrested on February 26. During interrogation, Kuang confessed to collaborating with two other individuals, Sun and Sui, in assisting criminals.

警方根据USDT交易线索找到了薛某的合伙人匡某，后者于2月26日被捕。在审讯中，匡某承认与另外两人孙某、隋某勾结，协助犯罪分子。

The suspects' modus operandi involved using business licenses to open public accounts, which were then used to purchase USDT. These transactions were designed to conceal the illicit nature of the funds and launder them through multiple channels.

犯罪嫌疑人的作案手法是利用营业执照开设对公账户，然后用于购买USDT。这些交易旨在掩盖资金的非法性质并通过多种渠道进行洗钱。

The authorities have confiscated nine mobile phones, two laptops, and a batch of company seals used in the criminal activities. The case is still under investigation, and further details are expected to emerge.

当局没收了犯罪活动中使用的九部手机、两台笔记本电脑和一批公司印章。该案仍在调查中，预计会公布更多细节。
