Violence threatens college students to join pyramid schemes and collect money crazily. Terrible. What happened in the end?

Fake well-known enterprises to recruit, trick college students from all over the country into joining pyramid schemes, then restrict personal freedom by violent means, coerce victims to buy fictitious cosmetics, and constantly defraud relatives and friends of money. ...

For more than three years, an MLM organization in Xi 'an has been continuously developing "offline" in this way, gaining illegal interests, and gradually evolved into a criminal group of evil forces that is entrenched in one side and does not do evil, involving a total amount of 750,000 yuan. On April 29, 2020, the People's Court of Lianhu District of Xi City publicly pronounced the case of this evil criminal group in the first instance, and 2 1 defendant was sentenced to two and a half to 20 years in prison for committing robbery, fraud and illegal detention respectively.

On August 5th, Xi 'an Intermediate People's Court made a final judgment, and 2 1 defendants were all punished by law. At this point, the case of this extraordinarily evil group, which has attracted much attention from the society, has finally settled.

The judge handling the case of Lianhu District People's Court in Xi City exposed the shady situation of this evil criminal group to the reporter of Huashang Daily.

College students were detained and cheated in online job hunting.

On March 4th, 20 18, Song Xiaoyu (a pseudonym), a college graduate, saw on the Internet that "Northwest Branch of China Architecture" wanted an information officer, so he submitted his resume. Unexpectedly, this job search became the beginning of her nightmare. Three days later, Song Xiaoyu received a strange phone call. The other party claimed to be a staff member of "China Construction Northwest Branch", told her that she had been hired and agreed to let her report to Xi 'an Company. The next day, Song Xiaoyu came to Xi by train from his hometown.

In several houses in the huge gate village, Jane and others interviewed her. After asking several questions about the construction industry, Jane changed the subject and said that the job she applied for did not exist. They are from "Shanghai Sijiana Company" and asked Song Xiaoyu to stay and "check". She forcibly took away her personal belongings such as her mobile phone, documents and computer, and threatened to rape and kill if she left. Song Xiaoyu didn't dare to resist, and his personal freedom was controlled. A few days later, Zuo forced him to pay 2900 yuan to buy a set of cosmetics to join the club, saying that he was highly organized and would never be free if he didn't pay, and threatened to retaliate against his family if he ran away or called the police. In desperation, Song Xiaoyu borrowed money from a friend through WeChat, collected 2,900 yuan and gave it to Jane. After that, she was forced to pay another 5,600 yuan, but she never saw the so-called product.

On August 6, 20 18, Zhang and Gao, who were on sentry duty, successfully escaped while they were unprepared. In the experience of Xiaoyu, Song Like, the victim Zheng Jianwei (pseudonym) was lured to the den of Beiliwang Village, Chang 'an District, Xi City in the name of online recruitment, and forced to buy fictional cosmetics by slapping, kicking and threatening to cut off his testicles. During the detention, * * * was robbed 19500 yuan. On August 6, 20 18, Zheng Jianwei was rescued by the public security organs.

According to the judge of Lianhu Court, the victims were caught in an evil pyramid scheme headed by Yang Moulai. At the end of 20 14, Yang, the first offender in this case, joined an organization. A year later, he was promoted to manager and then became independent from the original organization. Yang Moulai, who is "self-reliant", still uses the name of the original organization "Shanghai Sijiana", and together with his wife Han and his sister Yang Momei, leads several key members to activities in Tianjiawan Village, Beiliwang Village, Guangmen Village, Zhoujiapo Village and other places in An, constantly developing offline and expanding the scale of the organization. At the end of 20 17, Yang Moulai and others renamed their organization "Hong Kong Belleman". By the time it was seized in August, 20 18, it had become a mega-evil criminal group with fixed leading members, distinct levels, clear division of labor, strict management system, 8 dens and more than 90 people involved. The victim was "brainwashed" and became a "tool" of crime.

"The most striking thing about this case is that many people have changed from victims to criminals." The investigating judge said that many gang members were cheated and resisted at first, but over time, they could not withstand the temptation of mental control and interests, and were eventually "brainwashed" by evil gangs and turned into criminal "tools" of the group.

Defendant Zuo is a backbone member of the criminal group. After the Spring Festival of 20 17, Zuo was cheated and controlled when he applied for a job online, and was forced to join an organization located in the vast village. 20 17 to 10, left as the director of the organization, responsible for the management of No.6 den in Ancun. Because he is tall and intimidating, when there are new people in the organization, the "leader" will let him "interview" the new people, and force them to stay by violent means, force them to buy virtual cosmetics, and then confuse them to continue to pay or cheat them to pay. In addition, more than ten defendants, including Xiao and Zhou, were tricked into joining the criminal group. They have been bullied by organizations and are used to bullying new members by violent means. "This is how the industry was copied. I also said to the newcomers in the same way, now that you hate me, you will thank me when you make money. " One defendant claimed.

According to the judge who handled the case, after the criminal group tricked the victim into the den, it controlled the new person by means of violence, brainwashing and so on, and soon it could train the victim into a qualified crime "tool". At this time, the gang handed over the tools such as mobile phones to the victims, and began to "recruit" and trick people into joining the gang in accordance with the requirements of division of labor to seek benefits for criminal groups. "The organization's control over the victim's spirit is comparable to that of a cult. Many college students mistakenly enter pyramid schemes and don't want to leave after seeing through their faces. " The case-handling judge said that after the defendant Zeng was controlled by a criminal group, he made him feel that he was being reused and began to cheat by means of constant "brainwashing", interest temptation and playing emotional cards.

2065438+May 2007, she was arrested by the public security organs, but she refused to tell the truth all the time. After coming out, she was taken back to the den by gang members. In addition, eight defendants were placed in administrative detention, but none of them were rehabilitated. Therefore, this criminal group is different from ordinary pyramid schemes. They have repeatedly committed robbery, fraud and other criminal activities by threats of violence or other means, seriously disrupting social order, and should be characterized as evil criminal groups. The investigating judge said. "In order for the group to continue to grow and develop, they have strict' standards' for the choice of victims." According to the judge, the target of this criminal organization is mainly college graduates who have just graduated from other places. They believe that this group lacks social experience, is eager for success in job hunting, and is easily controlled and' brainwashed'. In addition, only attracting foreigners to participate is also for the convenience of control and management.

It is understood that the modus operandi of this evil criminal group is similar. They all attract people to "enter the game" on the grounds of online recruitment, forcibly take away the victim's property by slapping and beating, and threaten to intimidate the victim by poking eyes, chopping hands, breaking feet, cutting testicles, raping, removing uterus and killing people. Restrict their personal freedom and force newcomers to buy fictional "Sijana" and "Bereman" cosmetics. "The so-called product is nothing, nothing. No one can tell what this product looks like. " According to the case-handling judge, it is the most important way for this evil pyramid scheme to collect money by coercing newcomers to pay internet fees with nihilistic products and extracting money from newcomers. Later, through brainwashing in class, he was tricked into continuing to pay money, developing "offline" and looking for new criminal targets to defraud money.

According to the investigation, the internal name of the organization is "Xi 'an Factory", which has established an organizational structure composed of general manager, manager, factory director, supervisor and salesman, and built a complete operating system. The organization called the newcomer "roast duck" and established "roast duck system", "three talks and three talks" and "stepping on people (that is, hitting people)" The organization and management methods were taught by Yang Moulai and others. Directors send messages online to deceive people into the game according to the teaching method, force newcomers to join, and "step on" if they don't obey. Then they teach newcomers how to develop offline, develop teams and obtain huge funds for criminal groups for a long time.

In the past three years, the evil criminal group * * * has committed 28 robberies, 6 frauds and 2 illegal detentions, involving more than 90 people, with a crime amount of more than 750,000 yuan. Since June 2008, Yang Moulai and others have been arrested and brought to justice by the public security organs.

Since the launch of the special campaign to strengthen social governance and eradicate the soil of pyramid schemes, all parts of the country have responded positively, thoroughly investigated and severely cracked down on evil forces, and a large number of evil forces have been brought to justice.

Judging from this case,' post-90s' has become the main target of some evil forces to lure and act as pawns of crime, and the trend of young crime deserves vigilance. "Lianhu court judge sighed. The judge said that the criminal mode of criminal groups such as Yang Moulai is actually not complicated, but some college students are not deeply involved in the world and are difficult to sustain themselves in the face of temptation. In addition, the criminal means with the nature of pyramid selling have certain concealment, which makes it difficult for young people to distinguish, so they will be deceived.

"In handling the case, we found that there are many loopholes in the supervision of many large recruitment websites, which provides an opportunity for criminals to engage in pyramid schemes." According to the judge, the Internet recruitment platform has now become the main channel for job hunting, but it has also become the main area where false recruitment is frequent and high. MLM organizations publish false recruitment information on well-known websites to cheat job seekers' trust. During this period, these people colluded with each other and cooperated with each other to form a black and evil industry, which violated the personal and property rights of job seekers.

The reporter learned that in April, in order to deeply participate in the source governance and comprehensive governance, Lianhu Court sent judicial suggestions to a number of well-known recruitment websites for the problems found in the trial of Yang's case, suggesting that they take measures to plug the loopholes in platform supervision. The website also replied that the platform management will be further improved by strengthening the responsibility of website audit management and improving the "blacklist" system for complaints and reports.

"Companies that upload recruitment information on websites are strictly required to submit business licenses and other documents for review. But now there are indeed scammers who forge documents. How to solve such hidden dangers, we are also trying to explore. " The person in charge of a recruitment website in Xi' an said.

"Even if you apply for a job on a reliable platform, job seekers should raise their awareness of self-protection." According to the judge, all kinds of illegal and criminal acts committed in the name of "recruitment" are constantly being refurbished, and the scale and geographical scope of victims are constantly expanding. In this regard, it is urgent for job seekers to improve their awareness of risk prevention and self-help. Relevant departments should also implement their supervisory responsibilities, rectify and clean up the network in time, strengthen social governance, crack down on evil forces, and ensure people's sense of security in job hunting and employment.

The judge reminded the majority of job seekers to pay attention to the following situations when looking for a job, and carefully step into the "minefield": don't trust the recruitment information forwarded on the webpage and in the circle of friends, and choose a formal recruitment website and human resources market. Pay attention to identifying the company's recruitment information. Regular companies have enterprise registration information, which can be checked on the website of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau. We should be vigilant and avoid being tempted by high-paying positions, especially paying attention to obvious "fraudulent" jobs with low thresholds and high incomes. When personal safety is threatened, we should wait for an opportunity to call the police on the premise of protecting ourselves, actively provide evidence information to the police, and effectively protect our rights and interests from infringement.
