导语:

在虚拟货币交易中,用现金交易的方式买入电信诈骗、网赌平台等利用信息网络犯罪活动所获得的“赃币”,是否因此意味行为人明知是“赃币”,从而符合帮信罪的主观明知要件?

从帮信罪及其相关司法解释来看,应当回归到该问题的本质——虚拟货币的现金交易是否明显违背市场规律而属于“明显异常”的交易方式。

若在虚拟货币交易中,现金交易较线上交易明显困难,例如交易双方异地,距离较远,则属于明显异常的交易方式,若现金交易较线上交易并非明显困难,例如交易双方是同城的亲友,则不属于明显异常的交易方式。

当然,还应当综合案件具体情况来综合认定。

正文:

1.虚拟货币现金交易是否属于明显异常的交易方式?

电信诈骗、网赌等利用信息网络犯罪活动所获得的虚拟货币即本文所称的“赃币”,收购者在与犯罪人交易过程中,“赃币”实现了向现金的转化,收购者为犯罪人提供了支付结算帮助。《刑法》第287条之二规定,明知他人利用信息网络实施犯罪而为其提供支付结算帮助,情节严重的,构成帮助信息网络犯罪活动罪,即帮信罪。因此,买入虚拟货币被指控帮信罪的辩护重点在于行为人是否“明知”购入的虚拟货币是“赃币”。

《最高人民法院、最高人民检察院关于办理非法利用信息网络、帮助信息网络犯罪活动等刑事案件适用法律若干问题的解释》(以下简称《解释》)第十一条规定了六种推定“明知”的具体情形。其中第(三)项是“交易价格或者方式明显异常的。”因此,交易价格没有明显异常的情况下,采用现金交易的方式买币,能否被推定为主观明知,关键在于虚拟货币现金交易是否属于明显异常的交易方式。

虚拟货币的交易分为站内交易和站外交易,站内交易即交易所交易,站外交易如利用微信等聊天工具磋商后线上打款交易,也包括本文所讨论的面对面现金交易。

相较于站内交易和线上交易,面对面的现金交易较为麻烦,例如交易双方异地或者大宗的虚拟货币买卖要求携带现金量大。但其也有一定的优势,在我国,从本质来看,虚拟货币被定性为一种虚拟商品,不能因虚拟货币的虚拟性就否定其商品交易属性,在小额商品交易中,现金交易是普遍且较为安全的交易方式,可以一手交钱一手交货,采用现金的交易方式不存在明显异常。

在实践中,部分办案机关会认为行为人采用较为“麻烦”的面对面现金交易的方式买卖虚拟货币属于《解释》中“交易方式明显异常”的情形,并因此推定行为人明知是“赃币”

然而,对于“交易方式明显异常”最高检对所作出的解释是:交易方式明显不符合市场规律。

因此,不能单纯以虚拟货币—现金的转换就认定交易方式明显异常,应当回归其本质,此种转化是否是不符合市场规律,例如高效、便捷、安全。例如交易双方在异地,面对面交易的成本较大,或者说虚拟货币交易量大,携带的现金有几十上百万,但双方仍然采用现金交易的方式,并不符合市场交易规律,此时可以推定行为人明知是赃币。但是,例如交易双方本就是同城的亲友,并且就几万元的交易额,此时面对面的现金交易并未给交易行为本身创造阻力,或者此种阻力微乎其微,不能认定该笔交易违反了市场规律,也不能推定明知。

2.从实际案例来看,虚拟货币现金交易并不必然指向行为人明知

【案号】珠检一部刑不诉〔2020〕42号

【基本案情】犯罪嫌疑人A预帮助他人将网络诈骗赃款通过虚拟货币变现,A让被不起诉人B按自己要求以B个人身份信息注册了火币交易所账号并绑定个人银行卡提供给A,再由C转交诈骗团伙使用。2019年B火币账号共卖币92万余个USDT币,B银行账号收到630余万元人民币,B将所取现金交给C保管。C将所取现金在武汉或深圳交给诈骗团伙。其中C安排姚某某、B乘坐高铁从武汉至深圳运送一次现金约200万元人民币给诈骗团伙。

【案件结果】认定B涉嫌犯罪的事实不清、证据不足,不符合起诉条件,决定对B不起诉。

【理由】本案证据能够证实:被不起诉人B在2019年上半年受A安排,提供自己的身份信息注册火币网账户、绑定银行卡提供给A使用,并受A安排运送现金给刘某某团队。但本案证据无法认定B明知刘某某等人实施网络犯罪活动,也无法证实B提供银行账户收取、转移的资金为网络犯罪所得。理由如下:

1.目前查得的B涉案账户交易最晚一笔时间在涉案四个诈骗平台第一笔入金前,无法证明B涉案账户内钱款系该涉案四诈骗平台犯罪所得;

2.B不认识诈骗团伙成员,无直接或间接交往;A安排B以个人身份信息注册火币网账户并绑定个人银行卡时,并未明言或暗示用途;A安排姚某某、B提取巨额现金,因A从武汉送至深圳时,因A等人经商,提取现金的用途与目的不具有唯一性和排他性,亦无法证实B从中获得利益。

【解读】

本案中虽然不存在虚拟货币与现金的交易,但存在将虚拟货币变现为先进并运送的情形,从检察院不起诉的理由来看,不能够以单纯的虚拟货币—现金转换情形来认定帮助者主观明知,因为现金的用途与目的不具有唯一性和排他性,不直接指向违法犯罪活动。同样,在虚拟货币交易被控帮信罪的案件中,不能单纯以虚拟货币—现金的转化情形来认定帮助者主观明知。

3.对于帮信罪中行为人“明知”的判断还应当综合来看

在《<关于办理非法利用信息网络、帮助信息网络犯罪活动等刑事案件适用法律若干问题的解释>的理解与适用》中,最高人民法院指出“ 经研究认为,对帮助信息网络犯罪活动罪主观明知的认定,应当结合一般人的认知水平和行为人的认知能力,相关行为是否违反法律的禁止性规定,行为人是否履行管理职责,是否逃避监管或者规避调查,是否因同类行为受过处罚,以及行为人的供述和辩解等情况进行综合判断。”

司法解释创设综合认定规则,要求充分关注各种主客观因素,不偏信某一证据的证明力,从整体主义的视角对“明知”与否作出认定。在本文所说的虚拟货币交易中,除了现金交易的形式,还应当结合交易价格是否异常、是否采用加密通讯、是否收到过监管部门的提示、是否被冻过卡等案件事实来综合认定行为人是否“明知”。

Author Zeng Jie's lawyer Lin Anqi's introduction: Does it mean that the actor knows that it is stolen money and thus meets the subjective knowledge requirements of the crime of helping the letter? From the perspective of the crime of helping the letter and its related judicial interpretation, it should return to the essence of this problem. Is the cash transaction of virtual currency obviously contrary to the market rules and belongs to an obviously abnormal transaction mode? If cash is in the virtual currency transaction, Transaction is obviously more difficult than online transaction, for example, if the two parties are far away from each other, it is obviously abnormal. If cash transaction is not obviously difficult than online transaction, for example, if the two parties are relatives and friends in the same city, it is not obviously abnormal. Of course, it should also be comprehensively determined whether the text virtual currency cash transaction is obviously abnormal according to the specific circumstances of the case, such as telecom fraud, online gambling and other virtual currency obtained by using information network criminal activities, which is called stolen money collection in this paper. In the process of dealing with criminals, the buyer realized the transformation of stolen money into cash. The buyer provided payment and settlement assistance to criminals. Article 2 of the Criminal Law stipulates that providing payment and settlement assistance to others knowing that they use information networks to commit crimes constitutes a serious crime of helping information networks, that is, helping the letter. Therefore, the defense focus of the crime of buying virtual currency is whether the actor knows that the purchased virtual currency is stolen money. the Supreme People's Court and the Supreme People's Procuratorate on handling illegal activities Interpretation of several issues concerning the application of laws in criminal cases such as information network to help information network criminal activities, hereinafter referred to as interpretation, Article 11 stipulates six specific situations of presumption of knowledge, the third of which is that the transaction price or method is obviously abnormal, so whether buying coins by cash transaction can be presumed as subjective knowledge or not depends on whether the cash transaction of virtual currency belongs to obviously abnormal transaction methods. The transaction of virtual currency is divided into intra-station transactions and Off-site trading, that is, off-site trading of exchange trading, such as online payment trading after negotiation by using chat tools such as WeChat, also includes face-to-face cash trading discussed in this paper. Compared with on-site trading and online trading, face-to-face cash trading is more troublesome. For example, the trading of virtual currency in different places or in bulk requires a large amount of cash, but it also has certain advantages. In China, virtual currency is characterized as a virtual commodity, and its business cannot be denied because of its virtuality. Commodity transaction attribute cash transaction is a common and safer transaction method in small commodity transactions, and there is no obvious abnormality in the cash transaction method. In practice, some case-handling agencies will think that the behavior of buying and selling virtual currency by the troublesome face-to-face cash transaction is an obvious abnormality in the explanation, so it is presumed that the behavior knows that it is stolen money, but the explanation given by the highest inspection is the transaction method. Obviously, it does not conform to the market rules, so it cannot be determined that the transaction mode is obviously abnormal simply by the conversion of virtual currency and cash, and it should return to its essence. Is this conversion inconsistent with the market rules, such as efficient, convenient and safe? For example, the cost of face-to-face transactions between the two parties in different places is high, or the amount of virtual currency transactions is large, with tens of millions of cash, but both parties still adopt the cash transaction method, which does not conform to the market trading rules. At this time, it can be presumed that the actor knows that it is stolen money, but for example, the transaction is double. Fang is a relative and friend in the same city, and the face-to-face cash transaction for tens of thousands of yuan at this time has not created resistance to the transaction itself, or this resistance is minimal. It cannot be concluded that the transaction violates the market rules, nor can it be presumed that knowing that from the actual case, the virtual currency cash transaction does not necessarily point to the perpetrator knowing the case number, checking the basic case of a criminal prosecution, and the criminal suspect will help others to realize the illegal money of online fraud through virtual currency, so that the non-prosecuted person can meet his own requirements. Personal identity information is registered with the Firecoin Exchange account and bound with a personal bank card to be provided to the fraud gang. The annual Firecoin account is used to sell more than 10,000 coins. The bank account receives more than 10,000 yuan, gives the cash to the custody, and gives the cash to the fraud gang in Wuhan or Shenzhen. Among them, Yao Moumou is arranged to take a high-speed train from Wuhan to Shenzhen to deliver cash of about 10,000 yuan to the fraud gang. The case turns out that the facts of the suspected crime are unclear, and the evidence is insufficient and does not meet the conditions for prosecution. Reasons for prosecution The evidence in this case can prove that the defendant who was not prosecuted was arranged to provide his own identity information in the first half of last year, registered with Huobi.com account, bound with a bank card, and provided it for use and was arranged to deliver cash to Liu's team. However, the evidence in this case can't prove that knowing that Liu and others committed cyber crime activities, it can't prove that providing bank accounts to collect and transfer funds is the proceeds of cyber crime. The reasons are as follows: At present, the latest transaction of the account involved was not found before the first deposit of the four fraud platforms involved. The law proves that the money in the account involved is the proceeds of the crime of the four fraud platforms involved. I don't know that the members of the fraud gang have no direct or indirect communication arrangements. When registering the Huobi. com account with personal identity information and binding the personal bank card, they didn't explicitly or implicitly arrange the use. Yao Moumou withdrew huge amounts of cash because the purpose and purpose of withdrawing cash from Wuhan were not unique and exclusive, and it was impossible to prove that he benefited from it. There is a situation that virtual currency is realized as advanced and transported. From the reason that the procuratorate does not prosecute, it is impossible to determine the helper's subjective knowledge simply by the conversion of virtual currency and cash, because the purpose and purpose of cash are not unique and exclusive, and do not directly point to illegal and criminal activities. Similarly, in the case of virtual currency trading being accused of helping the letter, it is impossible to determine the helper's subjective knowledge simply by the conversion of virtual currency and cash, and the judgment of the helper's knowing should be comprehensive. In the understanding and application of the applicable law in handling criminal cases such as illegal use of information network to help information network criminal activities, the Supreme People's Court pointed out that after research, it is considered that the determination of subjective knowledge of the crime of helping information network criminal activities should be combined with the general people's cognitive level and the cognitive ability of the actor, whether the relevant behavior violates the prohibition provisions of the law, whether the actor performs management duties, evades supervision or evades investigation, whether he has been punished for similar behavior, and whether the actor's confession and excuse are required to make a comprehensive judgment. 比特币今日价格行情网_okx交易所app_永续合约_比特币怎么买卖交易_虚拟币交易所平台
