PANews reported on October 28th that according to CCTV News, Beijing police recently discovered a strange transaction involving an image of a counterfeit currency master. The police concluded that the buyer was likely engaged in the production of counterfeit currency. Following this lead, the police arrested 15 suspects, dismantled eight counterfeiting operations, and seized over 2.5 million yuan in counterfeit currency.

According to reports, the suspects in this case were all born after 2000, and some were minors. They first learned counterfeiting techniques using overseas software, then used printers to produce counterfeit currency, which they then sold using virtual currency. The suspects not only produced the counterfeit currency themselves but also taught others how to make counterfeit currency, profiting from the process.
