Subsequently, he was sentenced by the Shanghai court and became a company owner with a turnover of nearly ten million in just one month
In just one month, Liu, born in 1995, transformed from a dishonest person to the legal representative of a company with a monthly turnover of nearly ten million yuan. However, what awaits Liu is not glory and wealth, but legal punishment. Recently, the People's Procuratorate of Jing'an District, Shanghai, prosecuted the defendant Liu for the crime of aiding information network criminal activities. The court sentenced him to 11 months in prison and fined him 20000 yuan in the first instance.
Liu is living a frugal life and has defaulted on a loan, being listed as a dishonest person. In early November last year, due to an urgent need for money, Liu contacted the business manager of a certain company, who offered to provide him with over 1 million yuan. Liu was overjoyed, but he actually had no ability to repay it. During the communication, the other party seemed to see Liu's concerns and even expressed that the money was not to be repaid.
Liu knew that what the other party wanted him to do was definitely illegal, but facing the huge temptation, he decided to give it a try. The other party stated that Liu is a credit reporting "black door" and cannot be processed locally. He needs to go to another place for operation. A few days later, Liu took the train ticket purchased by the other party for him, took the train to the designated location, and contacted the so-called "local area manager" to handle the procedures.
After the train arrived at the station, a person named "Manager Shen" added Liu's WeChat to guide him in handling the local affairs. However, Liu has never seen Manager Shen himself from beginning to end. The other party instructed Liu over the phone to use his own identity information to register a company on the APP. Three days later, he was asked to go to the designated location to collect the registration materials for the company and take these materials to the bank to open a company account. The business license shows that Liu has become the legal representative of this trading company.
At this point, Manager Shen called again and requested that Liu be familiar with the company's name, business address, and scope of business when handling company accounts at the bank, in order to answer questions from bank tellers. In addition, Manager Shen also requested that the transfer limit for corporate accounts of bank cards be increased to RMB 5 million and the limit for private accounts be increased to RMB 3 million.
Although the bank teller repeatedly emphasized that the bank card could not be handed over to others when opening a company account, and requested that Liu sign the relevant commitment letter, Liu ignored it and walked out of the bank door, taking photos of the company account seal and card and sending them to Manager Shen. A few days later, he handed over all the materials such as business license, bank card, and U-shield to the person sent by Manager Shen to collect them.
Having been out of town for over 20 days, the other party not only did not charge him any fees, but also transferred hundreds of yuan in daily living expenses to him. Liu has some doubts about this, knowing that the other party should not do anything good when asking him to register a company bank account. However, for the sake of daily income, he still followed the other party's request to open a large transfer limit and hand over U shields and other funds to the other party. In Liu's perception, as long as he does not directly participate in illegal and criminal activities, even if something happens, he cannot be traced. From beginning to end, Liu received a total of 4900 yuan in "living expenses" from the other party.
After investigation, the company account registered by Liu was used to receive funds transferred by others, totaling 8.17 million yuan, including 8 million yuan transferred by victims of telecommunications fraud. After arriving at the case, Liu truthfully confessed all the facts of his crime. The prosecutor believes that Liu should be held criminally responsible for the crime of aiding information network criminal activities, as he knew others were using information networks to commit crimes and provided assistance for his crimes. The circumstances are serious. The relevant cases of the remaining personnel involved are being further processed.
