<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > the history behind the film</h1>
In 2008, there was a "rare scammer incident" in South Korea that shocked the whole society, which was the Cao Xiba fraud case. Cao Xiba defrauded money by attracting money to pay interest, and after the incident, he smuggled it into China through the port of Majianpu in Taean County, Chungnam. The victims of this case exceeded 30,000 people, and the damage snowballed, with total losses exceeding 4 trillion won (24 billion yuan), and suicides were also emerging. Subsequently, it was inferred that this fraudulent act was taken care of by the Korean public power. Cao Xiba is said to have died in China in 2011, but the impact of the case will not end there.
Cao Xi Eight
Born on February 5, 1958 in Jilin Province, China, Cao Xiba is an ethnic Korean and the main perpetrator of the largest fraud case in South Korea to date.
From October 2004 to the end of October 2008, Cao Xiba conducted medical device leasing business throughout South Korea, and carried out illegal fund-raising activities in the name of corporate wealth management business. The Cao Hee-ba fraud involved a number of industries in South Korea, including real estate leasing, environmental undertakings, tourism and leisure projects.
As the largest amount of money fraud in South Korean history, the "Cao Hee Eight Case" has continuously triggered a chain reaction. In November 2012, Kim Kwang-joon, a ministerial prosecutor at the Seoul High Prosecutor's Office in Seoul, South Korea, was detained by South Korean prosecutors on suspicion of accepting bribes of 900 million won from the Arijin Group and pyramid scheme fraudster Cho Hee-ba. This has made many South Korean people suspect that Cao Xiba has a protective force behind him, and there are unknown forces to help him escape from South Korea.
Cao Xiba and his deputy
South Korea's JoongAng Daily said on May 21, 2012, that the police found that nine family members, including Cao Hee-ba's wife and children, had traveled to China in December 2011. By searching their homes, emergency medical records, death certificates, cremation certificates, and other items were found. South Korean police determined that Cao Xiba may have died of an acute myocardial infarction on December 19, 2011, at a hospital in Qingdao City, China, based on statements from those involved and footage of funeral rites. However, there are also skeptical voices that the body has been cremated and cannot be verified for DNA, which does not rule out the possibility that this is Cao Xiba's "self-written and self-directed suspended death".
South Korea has a total population of more than 60 million, more than 40,000 people were deceived in this case, on average, every 1,500 Koreans, one was deceived, and the average person was defrauded of about 600,000 yuan. If you consider that many of the deceived people are behind a family, the population involved in the deception is even more amazing. It can be seen that the impact and destructive power of this case in South Korea are great.
After Cao Xiba absconded, he also installed spies in the investor rights protection organization to understand the investors' movements. When activist investors discovered Cao Xiba's hiding place, Cao Xiba did not hesitate to use murder to destroy the evidence.
Cowflies
Cowfly: The cowfly, also known as the cow skin fly, is about 15 mm long, thick and hairy, and resembles a bee. The larvae parasitize in the subcutaneous tissues of the back of cattle, causing chronic parasitic diseases; occasionally parasitize humans, horses, donkeys, sheep and wild animals. Due to the parasitism of the larvae of the skin fly, the quality of leather is reduced, the milk production is reduced, the affected animals are emaciated, and the young animals are stunted, resulting in economic losses.

。。。。。。。。
The list is too long to finish. According to statistics, the total amount that cannot be paid by various financial platforms of the national thunderstorm is hundreds of billions. In 2018 alone, there were 1,279 closed and problematic platforms, involving 2.154 million investors and an amount of 176.65 billion yuan.
Behind these cold figures are the fragmentation of countless people and countless families, and the overnight return to poverty and even the price of their lives.
"Thunderstorms, running away, missing contacts, investigations... It is estimated that many former investors have seen such words have become numb, for them the money is gone, any language and words to describe is pale and powerless.
Finance is an industry that relies on money to generate money, it does not create wealth by itself, it relies on various tools and products to package money to create wealth. Therefore, the tricks of financial fraud are to use people's desires to accumulate wealth, and when your desires have exceeded your rationality and the normal law of a transaction, it is inevitable to be deceived.
Money, desires, financial instruments, interest are all innocent, and it is people who are guilty. While those who commit financial fraud should be judged by the law, so should those investors be judged by the soul.
It is foreseeable that financial fraud will run through the entire history of mankind, it will appear in front of the world in various names and images, and fraud is the eternal companion of human beings like viruses.
After all, the most insurmountable thing for people is human nature, and the growth of leeks is always in the human world.
