Seeing the information of being defrauded by investing in virtual currency, he copied it and defrauded others!

In December 2023, the defendant Fang Mouhui saw the information of others being defrauded by investing in virtual currency on the Xiaohongshu APP, and then he had the idea of ​​defrauding others' property in this way. Later, he used his girlfriend's mobile phone number to register a Xiaohongshu APP account, and successively posted a number of screenshots of others' profits from investing in virtual currency downloaded from the Internet, creating the illusion that he had made a profit from investing in virtual currency, and sent messages such as "Brothers will show you various ways to play" and "The currency circle will show you" to strangers who follow the topic of virtual currency in private chats, attracting strangers to follow him to "invest".

In February 2024, Fang Mouhui and the victim Xiao Chen (pseudonym) discussed the topic of virtual currency investment in the same WeChat group chat. Later, Fang Mouhui contacted Xiao Chen through WeChat, and attracted Xiao Chen to invest funds to operate virtual currency rebate activities on the grounds that investing in virtual currency to brush water and participate in the activities of leading orders could get high commissions, and promised Xiao Chen high returns. From February to March of the same year, Fang Mouhui successively received a total of 5,075 yuan in transfers from Xiao Chen, and then stopped replying to Xiao Chen's messages on the grounds that his mobile phone was damaged.

In March 2024, the victim Xiao Jia (pseudonym) paid attention to Fang Mouhui's Xiaohongshu information and was led by Fang Mouhui to a private WeChat chat. Fang Mouhui also guided Xiao Jia to transfer money to him on the grounds of helping Xiao Jia invest in virtual currency to make money, and received a total of 4,180 yuan in Alipay transfers from Xiao Jia. On the next day, he transferred 6 yuan to Xiao Jia as a profit dividend, and then blocked Xiao Jia in April of the same year, causing Xiao Jia to actually lose 4,174 yuan. Fang Mouhui used all the money obtained from the fraud for living expenses and personal investment in virtual currency. After the incident, Fang Mouhui's family members successively reimbursed the two victims for all their losses and obtained the forgiveness of the two victims.

After trial, the court held that the defendant Fang Mouhui used network technology to defraud others of property for the purpose of illegal possession, and the amount was large. His behavior constituted the crime of fraud. Based on his criminal circumstances and remorse, the court sentenced the defendant Fang Mouhui to six months in prison and a fine of 4,000 yuan. #内容挖矿 #BTC Follow me!
