【Legal Dilemmas in Blockchain Fraud Reporting】

Whether a case can be filed after encountering cryptocurrency asset fraud largely depends on the law enforcement agency’s determination of the fraudulent target. In the past, some law enforcement agencies recognized USDT and other stablecoins as assets of value, allowing related fraud cases to be filed and investigated.

However, with the introduction of the latest regulatory policies, the situation has changed. Stablecoins are explicitly listed as non-recognized valuable currencies, which directly affects the legal classification of fraud cases. What is the result? The difficulty for victims to report has significantly increased—many cases face challenges in filing and recovery due to the difficulty in defining the nature of the target.

This means that the same USDT scam could face entirely different legal outcomes at different times. For Web3 users, understanding these rule changes is essential.

This legal trend is getting really absurd. USDT was considered an asset before, and now it's not? --- I knew it, this set of rules and gameplay is like magic tricks. If you get scammed today, you can file a case, but tomorrow it just becomes bad luck. --- So the money lost in scams is now neither money nor assets? What's the point of its existence then? --- Oh my, the speed of law enforcement standard changes is faster than the fluctuation of coin prices. --- We should have been alert to this long ago. When rules change, victims instantly become a legal blind spot. --- This is ridiculous. The same USDT scam case is judged differently at different times? That's just too unfair to victims. --- Stop right there. So now, you can't even report a scam involving USDT? How are we supposed to play Web3 then? --- It seems I need to be more ruthless myself. Can't have any more expectations for these platforms.
