This is a strange story, an ordinary garment factory employee account last month turnover actually exceeded 100 million. After the police investigated, they found a major case of about 20 billion yuan.
The story begins in 2016, when the police of the Qingtian County Economic Investigation Brigade in Zhejiang Province discovered an abnormal account during a routine inspection. This account actually traded close to 100 million in a month. This attracted great attention from the police, because this was not a powerful corporate account, but the personal account of an ordinary employee named Yang Peng.
The trading features of this account are unusually prominent, frequent and large. What makes the police even more suspicious is that the funds are almost never overnight, and there is never a balance left in the account, which is often accompanied by the activities of underground banks.
However, the police followed Yang Peng for many days, but did not see the slightest suspicion in him. He also has no criminal record. This left the police in a bind, and they began to focus their attention on monitoring the accounts.
Soon, new information came from the bank: a transaction had occurred in Yang Peng's account. The video shows that it was not Yang Peng himself who made the transaction, but his aunt Yang Ping and uncle Ye Jian.
The discovery opened new clues for the police, and Yang Ping and Ye Jian registered a media company, but did not find any substantive business at the registered address. And confusingly, both have previous convictions.
Through investigation, the police found that Yang Ping and Ye Jian had been circumventing the national foreign currency exchange policy and operating an underground bank. And their actual operation methods make the police extremely puzzling: collect foreign currency from "retail investors", then hand it over to "Shangjia" to convert into RMB, and finally hand it over to "retail investors" for withdrawal.
On October 17, 2016, Yang Ping and Ye Jian met with a middle-aged woman and handed over a wad of foreign currency. Then they met with more than a dozen people, and each time they met to do the same, and such frequent transactions were strange.
Subsequently, Ye Jian went to Wenzhou Longwan International Airport, which aroused the high vigilance of the police. However, his actions did not arouse the suspicion that escaped, and a mysterious handover ended up at the airport.
Under the control and tracking of the police, two young men who had handed over to Ye Jian were found, they were Wang Dong and Ma Lei, and this tracking also revealed a larger conspiracy.
Lin Jun, the man behind Wang Dong and Ma Lei, became the focus of police attention, running a fake trading company that illegally obtained overseas foreign currency through various means and converted it into renminbi. The whole chain of crime has been formed, and this is just one transaction in which they illegally buy and sell foreign currency.
On December 5, 2017, the police carefully deployed and successfully arrested all 17 suspects. The amount of foreign currency illegally bought and sold by them exceeded 20 billion.
The story is jaw-dropping, and the chain of crime behind it is intricate. The transaction volume of more than 20 billion yuan not only harmed the interests of the country, but also made these criminals pay a heavy price.
