According to Puyuan News, the Intermediate People's Court of Jinan, Shandong Province recently released a typical case clarifying the division of responsibility for losses resulting from entrusting others to invest in virtual currencies. The case details show that plaintiff Liu entrusted Zhang to invest in "Alpha Coin," but due to the platform's suspected criminal activity, funds could not be withdrawn. Liu subsequently sued to demand the return of the investment. After hearing the case, the Zhangqiu District Court determined that according to the Notice on Further Preventing and Addressing Virtual Currency Trading and Speculation Risks released by the central bank and other departments, virtual currency investment and trading constitute illegal financial activities, and the civil legal act is invalid.
