检察官出席法庭支持公诉
打着“提供虚拟货币‘挖矿’、无需矿机即可炒币升值获利”的幌子,以数字货币为交易媒介,通过自设的App和虚拟货币交易所进行网络传销,不到4个月时间吸引会员8.4万余名,涉及江苏、山东、重庆等20余省市,涉案金额14亿余元。
Under the pretext of “providing virtual currency `mining' without a mine machine to profit from the appreciation of the currency”, the digital currency was used as a medium for trading, and web-based distribution through the self-established App and Virtual Currency Exchange attracted more than 84,000 members in less than four months, involving more than 20 provinces and cities, including Jiangsu, Shandong and Chongqing, for a sum of more than $1.4 billion.
近日,经江苏省镇江市润州区检察院提起公诉,法院以组织、领导传销活动罪判处被告单位深圳某公司罚金,判处李某等16名被告人六年至二年不等有期徒刑,各并处罚金,涉案赃物、赃款及孳息、犯罪工具依法予以没收,上缴国库。
Recently, following a public indictment filed by the Yunzhou District Prosecutor's Office in Jiangsu town, the court sentenced the defendant's unit, Shenzhen, to a fine for organizing and leading the distribution activities, and sentenced the 16 defendants, Li Xiao, to a term of imprisonment ranging from six to two years, each with a fine, the proceeds of the crime, the proceeds and fruits thereof, and the instruments of the crime, in accordance with the law, to be confiscated and handed over to the State Treasury.
发财梦碎
It's a bad dream to be rich.
币圈玩家损失惨重
Money-circle players are losing a lot of money.
毛某家住江苏省常州市,是一名炒币发烧友。2020年7月,毛某被微信好友伞某拉进了一个神秘的投资群,群里正在热火朝天地介绍着一个即将上线的名为“双子新约”的投资项目。
Mao’s home is located in Changzhou, Jiangsu province, and is a compatriot with fever. In July 2020, Mao was dragged into a mysterious investment complex by the umbrella of a friend of ours, where a new investment project called “The Twin Testament” is about to be launched.
这款号称结合了5G、AI、Big Data、VR等技术的新项目不但听起来高大上,“钱景”也很诱人,宣称“只涨不停,永不关网”——只要以50个泰达币(一款与美元挂钩的虚拟货币,1个泰达币可兑换1美元)购买100个“双子新约”母币就能成为会员,再购买10个母币就有资格发展下线。入会会员既享有炒币升值产生的静态收益,也享有发展下线产生的动态收益,这些收益均以“双子新约”子币形式呈现。这些母币、子币不但都能持续升值,还可以在一个名为“大G交易所”的虚拟货币交易所里交易、变现。
A new project that combines technologies such as 5G, AI, Big Data, VR, and so forth, the “money view” is attractive, declaring that it “can only grow and never close” – as long as it buys 100 “double new contracts” in 50 tadas (a virtual currency peg to the dollar, a tadar currency to the dollar) to become members, and that buys 10 more. Memberships enjoy both static gains from currency appreciation and dynamic gains from the bottom line, which are presented in the form of “double new contracts” currencies. Not only can they all continue to appreciate, but they can also be traded and realized in a virtual currency exchange called the Great G Exchange.
毛某听了群里的介绍非常心动。伞某趁势告诉毛某,有内部消息保证稳赚不赔,项目一上线就通知毛某。
Mao is very moved by the group's presentation.
2020年8月,伞某果然给毛某带来了“双子新约”上线的好消息。在伞某指导下,毛某迅速下载了“双子新约”App,并注册激活了账户。当天,毛某抱着试试看的心态,用时价约2.7万元人民币的泰达币购买了6000多个“双子新约”母币正式成为会员,并推荐了部分币圈好友作为下线。接下来的两个多月里,毛某不但获得了平台承诺的不菲收益,还发现“大G交易所”里交易频繁、人气火爆,这一切都让他觉得押对了宝。
In August 2020, parachute did bring Mao the good news of a “new double pact” to the line. Under umbrella guidance, Mao quickly downloaded the “new double pact” App and registered to activate the account. On that day, Mao bought more than 6,000 “new double pacts” of Thai currency at an estimated RMB 27,000 per hour and recommended some of the currency’s best friends as the bottom line.
于是,他不仅又陆续追加了近70万元人民币投资,还继续介绍了8名币圈好友一起发财。谁知好景不长,毛某投进“双子新约”平台的母币、子币就无法通过“大G交易所”交易、提现了。总账算下来,毛某不但没有赚到一分钱,还亏了好几万。
As a result, not only did he add nearly $700,000 to the investment, but he also continued to introduce eight close friends in the ring to be rich together. Who knew that the good news was not long, Mao’s currency, which had been put into the “double New Testament” platform, could not be traded and cashed through the Great G Exchange.
和毛某有着类似遭遇的币圈玩家不在少数。很多“双子新约”会员都蒙受了不同程度的财产损失,有的甚至血本无归。2020年11月16日,公安机关接到群众关于“双子新约”平台涉嫌传销的报案,遂于当日立案侦查。
On November 16, 2020, the public security organs received reports of a suspected sale of the “new contract” platform and opened an investigation on the same day.

赚钱项目背后的传销陷阱
The marketing trap behind the money-making project.
随着侦查活动的持续深入,以李某为首的网络传销犯罪团伙逐渐浮出水面。
As investigative activity continues, criminal groups, led by Li Hiao, are gradually emerging.
现年38岁的“老板”李某仅有高中文凭,从2013年开始便接触虚拟货币。曾设计国外某数字货币传销项目的杨某是整个团伙的“军师”,“双子新约”设计思路、母子币价格操控策略等均出自他手。
Li, a 38-year-old “Board” with only a high school diploma, has been exposed to virtual currency since 2013. Yang, who has designed a digital money distribution project abroad, is the “man in the army” of the whole group.
2020年4月,李某从朋友口中得知了国外某网络传销项目,并从中嗅到了商机。
In April 2020, Li-Xiao learned from his friends about a network distribution project abroad and smelled business opportunities from it.
2020年5月至8月上旬,李某先是联系这个项目的设计者杨某等人设计了“双子新约”项目计划书,后又拉刘某、殷某等5人“入伙”,还重金聘请张某、汪某组建两个专业技术团伙。张某以深圳某公司名义开发了“双子新约”App1.0版本,汪某带领团队成员开发了2.0版本。为吸引会员和操控母子币价格,李某等人还为“双子新约”平台量身定制了“大G交易所”。
From May to early August 2020, Mr. Li, who was the architect of the project, designed a project plan for the “New Testament of Twins” by Mr. Yang, who then joined Liu and Mr. Yin, and engaged Zhang and Mr. Wang to form two professional and technical groups. He developed a version of “New Testament of Twos” at App1.0 on behalf of a company in Shenzhen, and a version of 2.0 was developed by the team members in Wang. To attract members and control the price of the mother and son, Mr. Li also tailored the Great G Exchange for the “New Testament of Two” platform.
一切准备妥当,李某等人便开始了“圈钱游戏”:从2020年8月App上线到2020年12月,“双子新约”平台迅速发展会员8.4万余个,层级关系多达316层,累计吸收会员泰达币2.23亿余个,涉案金额高达14亿余元。
When everything was ready, Li and others started a “crowd money game”: from August 2020, when App came online, to December 2020, the “New Tests for Two” platform rapidly developed with more than 84,000 members, with 316 layers of hierarchical relationships and a cumulative intake of more than 223 million tadars, involving a total of more than 1.4 billion yuan.
虽然该平台盗用了区块链、数字货币等概念并披上了5G、AI、Big Data、VR等高科技外衣,但其并没有任何实体经营活动,全靠不断发展下线维系运转。一旦没有足够多的下线源源不断地投入资金,该平台就会因承受不了越来越大的兑付压力而崩盘。这款迷倒无数会员的“炒币神器”,实质上仍是击鼓传花的“庞氏骗局”。
Although the platform has stolen blocks, digital money, etc., and is wearing high-tech coats such as 5G, AI, Big Data, and VR, it does not have any physical activity, and it operates on an ever-widening bottom line. Once there is not enough bottom line input, the platform will collapse because of the growing pressure to pay.

精准打击传销犯罪
Precision against distribution offences
因案情重大、复杂,该案被公安部列为挂牌督办案件。润州区检察院迅速根据公安机关邀请成立办案组,提前介入、引导侦查。立案侦查之初,查获的涉案人员就有20多人,匿名会员更是多达8.4万余个。这些涉案人员是否全部构成犯罪?如何查明匿名会员间的上下级关系?检察官们主张根据涉案人员在“双子新约”平台中所起的具体作用从严认定组织者、领导者,并建议公安机关先通过交易账户锁定匿名用户的真实身份信息,再开展针对性调查取证。最终,公安机关将数名受雇用充当操盘手、客服且无法查实是否明知“双子新约”是网络传销的人员不作犯罪处理,并在多名匿名用户间梳理出了多条清晰的上、下线关系。
The case was listed by the Ministry of Public Security as a registered case because of the seriousness and complexity of the case. The Yunzhou District Public Prosecutor's Office promptly set up a crime unit at the invitation of the public security authorities to intervene in advance and direct investigations. At the beginning of the investigation, more than 20 persons were arrested, and the number of anonymous members was as high as 84,000.
为确保取证工作符合指控犯罪需要,检察机关先后5次与侦查人员会商案情并提出了18条针对性的建议,均获采纳。
In order to ensure that the evidence is taken in accordance with the requirements of the alleged offence, the Prosecution Service held five meetings with investigators and made 18 targeted recommendations, all of which were accepted.
2021年5月,该案移送审查起诉。承办检察官在形成的近14万字审查报告的基础上,重点围绕网络传销团伙组织架构、涉案资金流向等方面编制了数十张图表,更加精准地厘清了每位犯罪嫌疑人的地位作用、涉案金额。此外,承办检察官还会同律师、嫌疑人家属共同做好释法说理工作,不但促使李某等16人全部认罪认罚,还敦促李某等13人主动退出了4.47亿元违法所得。
In May 2021, the case was referred for prosecution. On the basis of the nearly 140,000-word review report, the host prosecutor drew up dozens of charts focusing on the structure of the network distribution group and the flow of funds involved, clarifying more precisely the status of each suspect and the amount involved. In addition, the host prosecutor worked with lawyers and family members to explain the case, prompting not only all 16 Lee and others to confess their guilt, but also urged 13 others to withdraw their funds from the law.
2021年6月,润州区检察院以深圳某公司和李某、杨某等16人涉嫌组织、领导传销活动罪向法院提起公诉,并全部提出确定刑量刑建议。2021年9月27日至28日,法院两次开庭审理此案,深圳某公司和李某等16人均自愿认罪。近日,法院全部采纳检察机关指控的犯罪事实和量刑建议,并作出前述判决。
In June 2021, the Yanzhou District Attorney's Office prosecuted the court on charges of organizing and leading the distribution of 16 individuals, including Shenzhen and Li and Yang, and made all of its recommendations for determining the sentence. From 27 to 28 September 2021, the court heard the case on two occasions and 16 individuals, Shenzhen and Li, voluntarily pleaded guilty.
