As a result, fans have changed from watching the anchor to watching the "big brother" of Li onlookers.

In the process of receiving upstream criminal investors, the Pudong New Area Procuratorate found that the main culprit of fund-raising fraud had more than 100 million funds hit the live broadcast platform. This is a platform for sales without goods, that is, the more than 100 million funds are purely for rewarding consumption-based entertainment activities. Such abnormal behavior has aroused great attention from the prosecutors, and the result of the investigation of the case is that more than 60 million yuan was rewarded to the four anchors involved in the case, and the highest anchor accepted more than 20 million yuan.

Article 191 of the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China stipulates that anyone who participates in these seven criminal activities, including providing accounts, converting them into cash, and covering up or concealing criminal proceeds, shall be punished as the crime of money laundering.

After the suspect arrived at the case, he defended that he knew that the upstream was black and gray industry funds and was involved in crimes, but it was not clear that it was involved in seven specific types of crimes. After review, it was found that the two anchors among the main culprits had repeatedly arrived at the office of the upstream fund-raising fraud gang, and then also participated in their annual meeting. Relevant content was promoted in his live broadcast, so the procuratorate believes that it is sufficient to determine that he is aware of the content of the predicate crime in this case.

After the investigation of this online anchor money laundering case, the procuratorate noticed that the platform lacked appropriate early warning in money laundering activities, and the procuratorate believed that the platform could not give up supervision just because it "got half of the benefits in the tip".

During the interview, the reporter learned that the two anchors involved in the case entered the society after graduating from middle school, they ran through the construction site, served plates, and used to be ordinary laborers. And the rise of online live broadcasts has made them feel like they are standing in the wind and soaring all the way up. From the on-site arrest video of the public security organs, it is not difficult to find that several suspects not only live in luxurious residences, but also start companies and have teams. However, such hot money and quick money may be effective in a short time, and illegal and criminal activities will inevitably be severely punished. The first case of money laundering by an online anchor is to convey a positive energy and show the sword to the good and bad work and lie down to win criminal activities.
