Three godsons tricked a 70-year-old woman into selling her house to gamble and speculate in cryptocurrencies, and one of them even got married to her in a fake marriage (from Coinsradar.net)

1. The "godson" showed concern for her, and the 70-year-old woman sold her house for investment

Yu Moumou is a college student. After graduation, he joined A Investment Company as a marketing specialist, introducing the company's equity investment, P2P financial management and other projects to customers. With his affinity and handsome appearance, he quickly accumulated a group of customers, and Grandma Zhang was one of them.

Grandma Zhang was born in 1941 and likes to invest. She heard from others that A Investment Company has many investment projects with good returns, so she came to consult. Yu Moumou, who received her, smiled every time, poured water, greeted, sat next to Grandma Zhang to explain the "doorway" of investment, and patiently answered her questions.

Grandma Zhang recognized Yu Moumou as a trustworthy young man in her heart. Not only that, Yu Moumou also learned about Grandma Zhang's living alone during the chat, so he asked for her address, and went to her home every now and then to ask about her well-being, asking her to treat him as a "godson". Grandma Zhang trusted Yu more and bought a lot of financial products.

In 2017, Grandma Zhang lost more than 400,000 yuan in investment in other places, and she complained to Yu. Yu promised to help Grandma Zhang think of a solution. In the name of accompanying her to report the case, he went to Grandma Zhang's house more diligently, but in fact he took the opportunity to introduce other investment projects.

At this time, Yu had resigned from Company A, but he continued to persuade Grandma Zhang to invest in the equity investment of Company B, which he had privately undertaken, as an employee of the company, promising an annual return of 8%. Grandma Zhang said that she didn't have much money on her hands, so Yu persuaded her to sell the only real estate investment in her hands and buy a bigger house after making money.

Seeing that Grandma Zhang was a little moved, Yu immediately found his two former colleagues Gao and Dai to assist, and went to her house for dinner together. Grandma Zhang suddenly had three "godsons". Under their sweet words, she finally agreed to sell the house for investment, but also raised her last concern, worrying that she would have no place to settle down without a house.

The three of them discussed it and finally proposed that Gao and Grandma Zhang have a "fake marriage" so that Grandma Zhang's household registration could be registered in Gao's home, eliminating Grandma Zhang's last concern.

On June 9, 2017, the three happily asked Grandma Zhang to sign a 1 million yuan equity investment contract for Company B. On June 14, Grandma Zhang and Gao, who was born in the 1990s, registered for marriage, and on June 24, they paid Gao the 920,000 yuan down payment from the sale of the house.

However, the money did not enter the account of Company B as agreed, but was intercepted by the three.

2. Gambling and speculating in cryptocurrencies, the three guys squandered all the money

In fact, before signing the contract, the three had already had "evil thoughts".

Because they had agreed with Company B that they would have 50% of the right to use each sum of money raised, the three were unwilling to give half of their hard-earned money to Company B for nothing. After repeated discussions, they decided to divide the money into three parts, each for gambling, speculating in cryptocurrencies and consumption.

Afterwards, Yu continued to persuade Grandma Zhang to invest the balance of the house sale in P2P. Thinking that the P2P project she had invested in Company A was relatively safe, Grandma Zhang transferred more than 900,000 yuan to them one after another. Most of this money was used by Yu Moumou for gambling, but he still transferred several thousand yuan to Grandma Zhang every month to create the illusion that investing in P2P was profitable.

At the end of 2017, Grandma Zhang found Yu Moumou and said that her niece wanted to borrow 300,000 yuan to buy a house and asked if she could take out some of the money. Although Yu Moumou had lost most of the money at this time, he still found Gao Moumou and Dai Moumou to collect 300,000 yuan.

In April 2018, Yu Moumou lost all of Grandma Zhang's money. He found Gao Moumou and Dai Moumou to discuss it. The three realized the seriousness of the matter and decided to "confess" to Grandma Zhang.

They saw in the news that the C investment platform had collapsed, so they lied to Grandma Zhang that they had privately invested the money in the C platform because they felt that the project of Company B was unstable. Seeing that Grandma Zhang was angry, the three comforted her and said that they could return the remaining money to her and transfer the property under their parents' names to her as compensation.

However, several months later, not only did Grandma Zhang not receive any compensation, but she also could not contact the three people at all. On September 18, 2018, Grandma Zhang reported the case.

The prosecutor believed that Yu, Gao and Dai defrauded others of their property in the process of signing and performing the contract for the purpose of illegal possession, and the amount was extremely huge. Their behavior had violated Article 340 of the Criminal Law and was suspected of contract fraud.On June 30, 2020, the People's Procuratorate of Pudong District, Shanghai approved the arrest of Yu Moumou, Gao Moumou, and Dai Moumou.
