Under the guise of Bitcoin again, a Linyi man used Bitcoin trading as a pretext to defraud 290,000 yuan

Linshu police recently uncovered a fraud case and arrested Yuan, who was suspected of defrauding others of 290,000 yuan. Yuan cheated Wang, Song and others of 290,000 yuan in cash under the guise of trading Bitcoin for others. On March 16, Yuan was detained by the police on suspicion of fraud.

Wang, who is nearly 50 years old, is a resident of Linshu County. In July 2016, he met Yuan, who came to rent a house when he was renting a building along the street. Yuan claimed that he made a lot of money by speculating in Bitcoin. Wang could not resist the temptation and had the idea of ​​asking Yuan to speculate in Bitcoin for him. Wang gave Yuan his family's savings of 100,000 yuan. After that, Yuan's phone was not connected for a month. One day, Wang suddenly received a call from Yuan, who asked Wang to raise 300,000 yuan immediately and repay Wang with principal and interest in one lump sum within three days.

After hearing this, Wang quickly found Song, who worked with him, and told him about speculating in Bitcoin. Song had no money, but after hearing that speculating in Bitcoin could make a lot of money, he raised 190,000 yuan in cash in a few days. In late September 2016, Song and his friend Xie found Wang with 190,000 yuan in cash. The three of them came to Linyi together according to the agreement with Yuan and handed the 190,000 yuan in cash to Yuan. Wang and Song, who had been waiting to get rich, could not contact Yuan after a few days, and felt that something was wrong and reported the case to the police.

After being arrested, Yuan claimed that he had lost all the 290,000 yuan in bitcoin speculation. However, when the police retrieved Yuan's transaction list, the true face of this liar was exposed. It turned out that after Yuan received 100,000 yuan in cash from Wang for the first time, he only recharged 80,000 yuan, and he withdrew 78,000 yuan on the same day. On the night of the second time he received 190,000 yuan in cash, he only recharged 35,000 yuan, and soon withdrew more than 30,000 yuan. In this way, 290,000 yuan of funds from Wang, Song and others were defrauded by Yuan in the name of bitcoin speculation.
