Dividend 1000000 billion in less than a year of investment? Unfortunately, it's Zimbabwean currency funding | Zhu | Zimbabwean currency
As long as you invest 998 yuan, you can receive 2 million overseas funds as a return. It sounds very cost-effective, but what if the overseas funds here refer to Zimbabwean dollars? Recently, the People's Procuratorate of Qingpu District, Shanghai, prosecuted six defendants on suspicion of fraud.
Chen lives in Qingpu District, Shanghai and has been doing some small business all year round. He has scattered some shops and also attempted to establish a film and television company, but all of them went bankrupt due to poor management. In 2018, she founded a company mainly engaged in women's products. In early 2022, Chen met a man surnamed Zhu through a friend's introduction in Zhejiang. Zhu claimed to be a successful businessman and had helped two companies successfully go public within a year. Chen was very interested in Zhu's success studies and invited him to come to his company to discuss how to go public.
Zhu stated that he has a wealth investment management company in Shenzhen that can serve as an intermediary. Another friend, Hu, opened an investment limited company in Zhejiang as an investor, while a third friend, Dong, opened a media and cultural limited company in Jiaxing as a third-party regulator. As long as these three parties join, we can raise 30 billion yuan in overseas assets.
"Are you talking about some worthless foreign currencies?" This amount made Chen suspicious. Zhu immediately said, "That won't happen."
After Zhu left, Chen invited company employees Liao and Yuan to discuss together. All three of them believe that Zhu should be a fraud. Quickly, Zhu noticed Chen's distrust and changed his strategy. He openly told Chen that all three companies were shell companies, but they could use 30 billion yuan in overseas financing as a cover to deceive others into investing. Subsequently, Zhu falsely designed the "Project Financing Equal Cooperation Agreement" and "Project Strategic Cooperation Agreement", and signed the "Foreign Financing Intermediary Service Agreement" and "Market Promotion Foreign Fund Investment Agreement" with Chen. It was agreed that Zhu and his company would use the name of Chen's company to promote, attract customers, and fraudulently obtain customer cooperation agreement payments. The funds obtained were collected by Zhu and Hu as intermediary fees, with Dong charging 18 yuan per payment as data supervision fees, and the remaining funds being divided among Zhu and his team.

In order to attract more customers, Zhu and others have planned three investment projects of 98 yuan, 598 yuan, and 998 yuan, promising to join the membership and invest 98 yuan. After successful financing, they will return 50000 to 100000 overseas funds; Investing 598 yuan will result in a return of 500000 overseas funds; Investing 998 yuan will result in a return of 2 million overseas funds. Subsequently, this was widely promoted. Many investors have been tricked into taking advantage, and even internal salespeople such as Chen have had multiple buyers of their investment products.
In less than a year, Zhu and others successively developed more than 1100 investment members and fraudulently obtained nearly one million yuan in cooperation agreement payments. In order to ease investor sentiment and stabilize their trust, Zhu and others also presented Chen's original female gel products as gifts when investing in projects of different gears. When members gradually became skeptical about the progress and reliability of financing, Zhu and others came up with the idea of purchasing Zimbabwe coins with a total face value of 1000000 billion through online platforms, pretending to be "overseas financing" and distributing them to investors. In fact, a Zimbabwean banknote with a face value of 100 billion yuan is priced at just over 3 yuan on online shopping platforms. Investors realized they had been deceived and reported it to the police in anger.

After examination, the procuratorial organs believe that Zhu, along with Chen, Dong, and others, fraudulently obtained property from others by fabricating facts and concealing the truth for the purpose of illegal possession. The amount involved is particularly huge, and his behavior has violated the Criminal Law. Therefore, he is prosecuted in accordance with the law. The procuratorial organs also carried out lawful recovery of stolen goods and damages, guided the public security to freeze 480000 yuan in cash under Chen's name, and seized one BMW sedan under Zhu's name, all of which were used to compensate investors.
