In this regard, Douyin has established a special financial fraud management project, which mainly combats investment fraud such as stock recommendation fraud, counterfeiting financial bloggers, and virtual currency. In June of this year alone, 3,300 accounts were punished for committing fraud on the grounds of “virtual currency”.
