Article 225 of the Criminal Law, whoever violates state regulations and disrupts market order, if the circumstances are serious, shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than five years or criminal detention, and shall also, or shall only, be fined not less than one time but not more than five times the illegal income; If the circumstances are especially serious, he shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than five years and fined not less than one time but not more than five times the illegal income. This is a provision on sentencing for the crime of illegally operating futures. The crime of illegal business operation refers to the illegal business operation of franchised, monopolized or other commodities with restricted trading without permission, buying and selling import and export licenses, import and export certificates of origin, business licenses or other approval documents stipulated by laws and administrative regulations, and other illegal business operations that disrupt market order and have serious circumstances. Subjectively, this crime is intentionally constituted and has the purpose of seeking illegal interests, which are the two main contents of this crime. If the actor buys and sells the business license because he doesn't understand the laws and regulations, he should not be punished as this crime, and the competent department should investigate his administrative responsibility.
