The total amount of fraud reached billions of Taiwanese dollars! Entertainer Guo Yanjun revealed that he was once deceived by an Ether mining machine scam and lost the down payment for an apartment in the eastern district.
Domestic media reports that artist Guo Yanjun said in an interview today that he was also a victim of fraud 5-6 years ago. In the past 5-6 years, the Criminal Law has not been strengthened, and the victims have been falling into traps one by one. Reading the judgment, it was shocking to find that Guo Yanjun's name appeared in a fraud case involving an Ether Mining Rig, and the compensation amount of 5.12 million is already the down payment for a trap apartment in the East District of Taipei City.
Don't believe in the high annualized return with capital preservation, it is mostly a scam of using later investors' money to pay earlier investors.
"Victims cannot be blamed, because the (scam group) has far too many perfect scripts, as many people say, they can really act better than the winners of the Golden Bell Awards." Guo Yanjun said in an interview. He pointed out that this is a social problem, a problem that shakes the foundation of the country. He also saw many retired elderly people being deceived of their lifelong savings. He hopes that the legislators can seriously face this issue, because too many families have been ruined, and what we see now is just the tip of the iceberg, with many more yet to surface.
Recently, he also posted on Facebook, stating that he once trusted a friend's guaranteed 18% annual profit and invested an amount that could cover the down payment for an apartment in the eastern district of Taipei. At the beginning, he did receive some money, but after a while, there were many reasons for delay, and three months later, the person in charge was arrested. Subsequent news reports revealed that the amount of fraud reached billions of Taiwanese dollars, and even some investors issued statements due to this incident. I heard from a friend that the initiator of the fraud was sentenced to less than ten years, and the money obtained had already been transferred abroad.
Artists are also deceived, Ether coin Mining Rig scam runs away with tens of billions of Taiwan dollars
Reviewing the judgment, the fraud against Guo Yankun is a case of Ether coin Mining Rig fraud by a company called "Fani Technology Co., Ltd." The judgment points out that Fani Technology Co., Ltd. used fraudulent means in violation of the Banking Act to induce victims to purchase Ether coins Mining Rig from the company, and should have set up Mining Rig and conducted Ether coin mining operations for investors according to the contract. However, the company did not actually set up the Mining Rig, but created false profits by using the robbing Peter to pay Paul method.
Guo Yankun invested about 5.5 million New Taiwan Dollars in the case, with a return of about 380,000 and a loss of about 5.12 million New Taiwan Dollars. This is a classic case of 'he wants your interest, and you want his principal.' In the end, he also mentioned that many fraud groups transfer their proceeds overseas in advance before being caught. After being released, they can continue to use the money abroad. He said, 'The suspects exchange tens of billions for a few years of public meals, which is really unfair,' and called on legislators to amend the law to increase the penalties for fraud.
