was addicted to the anchor's "big brother" and couldn't extricate himself. He defrauded many people of their money and rewards. After being prosecuted by the Public Security County Procuratorate of Hubei Province, the local court recently sentenced the defendant Chen to ten years and six months in prison for fraud and a fine of RMB 100,000.

On November 15, the prosecutor in charge introduced that on October 23, 2023, when the 75-year-old Zhao was resting at home, his friend Li came to visit and said that his son Chen had a medical accident while being treated in the hospital and called the hospital. We needed money to deal with the lawsuit, so we borrowed 15,000 yuan from him. Zhao thought that Li was his old friend for many years, and thought of relieving his urgent need, so he gave Li a loan. After that, Li repeatedly borrowed money from Zhao on the grounds that it would cost money to find a lawyer, until all of Zhao’s savings over the past few decades were borrowed. On November 13 last year, Zhao suddenly realized that he had been defrauded of more than 390,000 yuan.

As the public security organs launched an investigation, the truth of the matter gradually emerged. Back in July 2020, one day in July 2020, Li’s unemployed son Chen met a female anchor while browsing Douyin and gave her a gift of several hundred yuan. Slowly, Chen fell in love with the female anchor, and the amount of rewards became higher and higher.

In February 2023, Chen rewarded all the 100,000 yuan his father gave him to buy a house in just one month. His vanity was greatly satisfied by the female anchor's thanks, and he couldn't extricate himself from it. .

At this time, Chen was already penniless. In order to continue to play the role of "boss" and "big brother" in the live broadcast room, Chen made up lies, saying that he was injured while working in a company and the hospital failed to treat him, so he needed to raise money. He went to the hospital to file a lawsuit, forged a virtual character, went to the court and other places, and defrauded the trust of his mother Li and relatives and friends by making phone calls, WeChat videos, and sending photos. From May to November 2023, Chen himself and through his mother Li borrowed a total of 729,900 yuan from seven relatives and friends, including Zhao, Liu, Wang, and Hu. All the loans were used by Chen to reward anchors. .

On February 20, 2024, the public security organ transferred the case for review and prosecution on the basis that Chen was suspected of fraud. During the review of the

case, the prosecutor in charge of the case believed that there were two major focuses in the case: First, Chen's behavior was suspected of fraud. So, was Chen's mother Li an accomplice in the crime of fraud? Second, the victims’ money was used by Chen to reward live broadcasts. How to recover their losses?

The prosecutor in charge of the case carefully reviewed the case materials and believed that Chen’s mother Li was also deceived. Because she loved her son so much, she listened to Chen’s lies and subjectively borrowed money to help her son fight the lawsuit, thinking that Chen would win the case. After that, he was able to return it in time, objectively implemented the loan act, and had no common criminal intention to commit fraud with Chen. Therefore, Li’s behavior did not constitute an accomplice in the crime of fraud, and all the money borrowed by Li should be deemed as Chen’s fraud crime. amount. However, as a borrower, Li has the obligation to return the money based on civil legal relations.

At the same time, in order to recover the victim's losses to the maximum extent, after interpreting the law and reasoning, the anchor who rewarded Chen realized that accepting Chen's reward was not obtained in good faith, and that the reward was illegal income involved in the case, and then voluntarily returned the reward amount of 350,000. Yuan. At present, the funds have been returned to the victims in proportion.

On May 15, 2024, the Public Security County Procuratorate prosecuted the case and proposed a sentencing recommendation of ten years and six months in prison and a fine of 100,000 yuan. After hearing the case in accordance with the law, the court adopted the sentencing recommendations of the prosecutor's office and made the above judgment.

At present, relevant departments are working together to further recover the stolen goods and recover losses.
