Is it illegal to borrow a credit card from a friend and cash it out repeatedly?

Legal analysis: If a friend borrows a credit card and cashes it out repeatedly, it is easy to be suspected of malicious overdraft of the credit card, which is illegal. It is recommended that you ask a friend to get your credit card back and pay off the balance in a timely manner. If the cashed-out credit card amount is large and the failure to repay in time is serious, the bank will report it to the public security agency. If the public security agency believes that the crime of credit card fraud is met, it will file a case for investigation. According to the criminal case process, it will start from filing, investigation, prosecution, and trial. The process continues, and finally the court pronounces its verdict. (Malicious overdraft is one of the circumstances of credit card fraud, which conforms to the circumstances of malicious overdraft, such as subjective malice, objectively implemented behavior, etc. The amount is principal 1). If after the public security organ files a case and the people's court has repaid all the overdraft interest before the judgment is pronounced, the person may be given a lighter punishment. If the circumstances are minor, the penalty may be exempted; if the amount of malicious overdraft is relatively large and all the overdraft interest is repaid before the public security organ files the case, the circumstances are obvious. If it is minor, you may not be held criminally responsible according to law; if you just fail to pay back the money, it will constitute a criminal offence.
