🚨 Shocking Crowdfunding Scam? Cancer Patient Raises $97K for Treatment, Buys Flat Instead! 🚨

A heart-wrenching crowdfunding story has taken a jaw-dropping turn as allegations of misuse of funds surface. A 29-year-old cancer patient in China, known only as Lan, raised an astounding $97,000 (700,000 yuan) for his treatment, only to spark outrage after revealing photos of his newly purchased flat.

How the Alleged Scam Unfolded

Lan’s crowdfunding campaign, launched on October 14, aimed to collect 900,000 yuan ($125,000) for treating Hodgkin’s lymphoma, a rare cancer. In a matter of days, over 4,500 donors poured their support, raising more than 700,000 yuan. However, the goodwill turned into disbelief on November 6 when Lan posted pictures of a 738,000-yuan flat he had just bought, stating, “This is my new home.”

Adding fuel to the fire, it was revealed that Lan’s family already owned multiple properties worth over 4 million yuan and received substantial rental income—contradicting his claims of financial hardship.

Suspicion and Action

Discrepancies in Lan’s financial transparency raised alarms:

Underreported Assets: Lan listed only one property valued at 300,000–500,000 yuan, leaving out his family’s wealth.Funds Misuse: He admitted to placing 200,000 yuan of donations in a fixed-term savings account.

In response, the crowdfunding platform swiftly suspended his campaign on November 7 and refunded the 278,204 yuan raised so far to donors. Legal authorities are now investigating the case.

A Wake-Up Call for Donors and Platforms

This incident exposes serious vulnerabilities in online fundraising, especially for health-related emergencies. While platforms enable life-saving assistance, they also open doors for potential misuse:
