#谭竹肥猫#
In the early morning of April 11, 2024, the life of a 21-year-old young man from Hunan Province was forever frozen at the Yangtze River Bridge in Chongqing. He is in Chongqing for online dating, his online name is Fat Cat, and the object of his online dating is Tan Zhu. In the real world, Fat Cat is a game substitute, although the education is not high, with his extraordinary game talent, at the age of 21, he earned more than 500,000 yuan by playing orders, and he has far surpassed his peers in making money.
But this did not satisfy Tan Zhu, in the two years of online dating, the fat cat has been transferring money at 21:44 pm on April 10, and he transferred her the last money: 66,666 yuan. It reads: Voluntary gifting.
After the fat cat died, it is said that under the mediation of the local police station, his sister and Tan Zhu reached a preliminary settlement for a time, and Tan Zhu returned more than 130,000 yuan. According to her understanding, in this matter, they are both clear.
But this should not be so clear. Coincidentally, also recently, there was a case in Japan that attracted a lot of attention on the Internet, and a "top woman" squeezed money from three men in the name of love. Let me start with the result, she was sentenced to 9 years in prison and fined 8 million yen for fraud.
The "Top Girl" Incident
In Japanese, "頂く" means to enjoy the hospitality or service of others, and 頂き女 is an Internet buzzword that refers to women who unilaterally enjoy the man's financial contributions in a relationship.
The woman, Mai Watanabe, 25, received a total of more than 155 million yen from three men she met through dating apps.
The excuse she uses every time she asks for money is to repay her debts, and probably the term "borrowed money" appears too much in the titles of certain types of movies, and her online boyfriends are worried that they always try to meet her requirements as much as possible, and in fact, all this money is squandered.
Mai Watanabe
What's even more bizarre is that she also wrote an article to guide other women on how to use love to squeeze their boyfriend's money. In the indictment, the Japanese prosecution states that it is "a despicable crime of repeatedly making him pay for the feelings of a single man who is looking for a serious relationship." Initially, the prosecution asked for a 13-year prison sentence and a fine of 12 million yen.
Unlike Tan Zhu, the people who Mayi Watanabe is dating are all elderly people around 50 years old, who have been cheated out of all their savings, and some even take out their insurance money.
Chief Justice Yoichi Omura of the Nagoya District Court finally said in his verdict that it was selfish to use romantic feelings to defraud multiple men of large amounts of cash, noting that his textbook "actively promotes similar crimes and is malicious."
However, considering the situation such as "she expressed remorse and made an apology and compensation, and expressed to the media that she intended to return 18 million yen to the victim", he was sentenced to 9 years in prison and a fine of 8 million yen.
Mai Watanabe has filed an appeal.

Motivation is a legal difficulty
Looking back, the constitutive elements of the crime of fraud in the mainland criminal law include four points
- The perpetrator subjectively has the purpose of unlawful possession;
- The perpetrator committed a deceptive act and caused or maintained a false perception of the victim;
- The victim disposed of his property due to a misunderstanding, that is, there was a causal relationship between the act of disposing of the property and the misunderstanding;
- The victim suffers property losses, and the perpetrator obtains property benefits.
In the #Tanzhu Fat Cat# incident, the fourth point is undoubted, but the first three points are difficult to prove. Watanabe's conviction was largely easy to define in terms of motives and behaviors, her motives were confirmed by the so-called textbooks she produced, and her lies about repaying her debts confirmed her fraud.
Tan Zhu is different, it is difficult to have substantial evidence to prove his fraudulent motive, even if there is a fact of splitting legs in the process of love, it only shows that he is unfaithful to love, not for the purpose of defrauding money, and if the behavior of the flower shop is substantial, it is even more difficult to prove that there is fraud.
If there is no substantial evidence, I am afraid that this will become another incident that makes netizens uneasy.
