Recently, the police in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China, uncovered a fraud case. A man named Han packaged himself as a " rich second generation " and then " borrowed " 10 million yuan from Mr. He on the pretext of making money by speculating in US stocks together , and refused to return it.
Mr. He called the police after discovering the clues. The police found that Han was " borrowing money in name only and cheating in reality " , and more than 7 million yuan had been used to reward the anchor. Currently, Han has been taken into criminal detention by the public security organs.
It is understood that Han and Mr. He met in 2022. Han told Mr. He at the time that his father was a shareholder of a well-known company and he was studying in the UK. He owned several properties and had tens of millions of dollars in savings to speculate in US stocks. In February 2024 , the two met again at a party and added each other on WeChat.
May of that year , a post by Mr. He about a luxury watch caught the attention of Mr. Han, who contacted Mr. He and bought the watch for 440,000 yuan. Since then, the two have been in frequent contact, often eating together, exchanging luxury cars, and their relationship has become warmer . More than two months later, Han proposed to Mr. He that they could make money by investing in US stocks. Mr. He felt that it was risky and did not want to invest, so Han proposed that he would bear the risk. Han borrowed 5 million from Mr. He to invest in stocks, and paid Mr. He a dividend of 6% annualized interest rate every month . One month later, Han asked Mr. He to invest 3 million on the grounds that US stocks were rising well . Mr. He heard that Han had nearly 10 million US dollars in his US stock account, so he lent Han another 2 million for investing in US stocks and A shares.
At the end of the year, Han failed to return the 10 million yuan principal to Mr. He as agreed. After Mr. He investigated, he found out that Han's identity as a second-generation rich man was fake. He did not use the money he borrowed from Mr. He to speculate in stocks, but used it to buy cars and luxury goods. He spent millions of yuan on giving rewards to anchors on the live broadcast platform alone.
March this year , Mr. He reported the case to the Sandun Police Station in Xihu District, and the police summoned Han, who was suspected of fraud, for investigation. After repeated interrogations by the police, Han finally told the truth. He told the police that he had initially fabricated his identity in order to be taken seriously by others when entertaining people. In fact, his family conditions were not bad. During his study in the UK, he took 4 million yuan from his family for living expenses alone, and he also made several million yuan from his own decoration projects. However, he was fascinated by watching live broadcasts, so he " borrowed " money from Mr. He under the pretext of stock trading , of which more than 7 million yuan was used to reward the anchor.
