In this country, cryptocurrency trading is prohibited, including any transactions with altcoins or USDT.
It is reported that on the very eve of the New Year, December 31, 2024, law enforcement officers tracked down and arrested a 16-year-old guy right while receiving cash.
The guy's services consisted of receiving and then exchanging cash for USDT, which the "offender" then sent to the customer's Binance address.
In the modern world, such an operation is completely legal and available to anyone. Moreover, anyone can do this quite calmly, having only a bank card.
As the preliminary investigation showed, the guy found his clients through anonymous Telegram channels. This is where buyers get to know each other and make deals. Most often, they do not even need to meet and the entire operation takes place online. The buyer sends his funds to the cryptocurrency seller's card account, and the seller, in turn, transfers bitcoins or usdt to the buyer's e-wallet.
Now, according to the law, the young man faces up to 15 days of imprisonment, a large fine, and the destruction of the laptop with which the illegal activity was carried out. After all, trading, exchanging, or mining cryptocurrency in Uzbekistan is prohibited without an appropriate license.
In addition, the sentence may be increased. If the court proves that this operation was not a one-off, whether a group was organized or the suspect acted alone, and also depending on the amount of money earned.
In any case, trading usdt in Uzbekistan is dangerous for both the seller and the buyer. Tourists should be especially careful, because not knowing the laws of a particular country can bring many problems upon themselves.
