Couple of days ago, a group of fraud from Bangladesh made around $250000 within 2 months through influncing people to gamble in their gambling sites/apps and later scam or something like that, have been arrested by police. From the amount they made, they had to sent a lot of funds to Ukraine where the leading people live. They used bitcoin to send the money. Police said they are investigating more to find everyone related to the gang and/or who have helped them directly or indirectly.

First, I think you should change the title of the thread BTC instead of bitc.
2nd, it would be nice if you put some link on the source of this news or story so we can read the full report about this particular news.

I sometimes sell BTC in local market through the help of some facebook group. I never felt that I am in risk but for the first time, it seems like we are actually risking ourself a lot of by selling BTC to unknown. What if they get a trace of ourself and link us with such transactions? Would we be also get punished? For your info, we had to use our mobile number to continue dealing.

Based on the story.

I think you are not risking here, that's how p2p is done, and buying and selling of bitcoin is not illegal as bitcoin itself is not legal.
I know you are concern on the money laundering, but it wasn't you who are laundering money when you buy or sell from someone as you are not in the list, unless you are suspected to, but you will go under investigation and if they don't find any evidence, you'll be safe so there's no need for you to worry.

I think you should read more about what is money laundering.
