The "underground bank" was uncovered by the Public Security Bureau of Panshi City, Jilin, the state-owned news service said.
The operation used domestic accounts to receive and transfer funds while exploiting the anonymous, borderless characteristics of over-the-counter virtual currency trading to exchange between the yuan and South Korean won.
Users included Korean purchasing agents, e-commerce firms and import/export companies, among others, according to the report.
