The 'tool man' was sentenced for assisting in the transfer of stolen funds

The seemingly simple "high paying job" is actually a trap carefully designed by fraud gangs, such as "helping to attract people into the group and getting money" or "borrowing a bank card, it's okay". Recently, the People's Court of Yangpu Economic Development Zone in Hainan Province held a trial for a case of concealing and concealing a criminal offense and pronounced the verdict in court. The court found that in June 2025, the defendant Qian met Zhou in a chat group called "Precise Poverty Alleviation Special Fund Matching and Payment" after being pulled into the group. During the chat, Zhou asked him to provide a bank card for transferring money, and promised that Qian would receive a red envelope of 2000 yuan for every person he brought into the group and provided a bank card. Qian has a criminal record and his bank card cannot be used, but he still wants to earn 2000 yuan. During her chat with Wang, she introduced him to registering online to receive poverty alleviation funds. Wang followed Qian's instructions, downloaded the software on his phone, joined the group chat, and signed in as instructed. After a period of time, Zhou contacted Wang and said that as long as a bank card was provided to assist with the transfer, a certain "benefit fee" would be given. Wang agreed. In August 2025, the victim Yang was lured by a netizen's promotion of "knowing insider trading and making money by buying gold futures", and purchased 100000 yuan of gold futures on a website recommended by him. Later, he found that the money could not be withdrawn. Originally, the website was not a genuine official website. The fraudulent funds were transferred into Wang's bank account, and then Qian supervised Wang to withdraw 100000 yuan of the stolen money and deposit it into Zhou's designated bank account. After the victim Yang reported to the police, Qian voluntarily surrendered and compensated Yang for some of his losses, and obtained forgiveness from the victim after being summoned by the public security organs over the phone. In court, both the prosecution and defense fully expressed their opinions, and the defendant Qian pleaded guilty and accepted punishment in court. The Yangpu Court believes that the defendant Qian knowingly transferred the stolen money according to the instructions of others, knowing that it was the proceeds of crime. His behavior has constituted a cover up and concealment of criminal offenses. After comprehensive consideration, the Yangpu Court ruled in court as follows: the defendant Qian was found guilty of concealing and concealing the crime and was sentenced to one year in prison and fined 5000 yuan; For the crime of aiding information network criminal activities, the offender shall be sentenced to 1 year and 6 months of imprisonment, suspended for 2 years, and fined 10000 yuan. The offender shall be punished for both crimes and shall be sentenced to 2 years of imprisonment and fined 15000 yuan. The defendant stated in court that he would not appeal. (New Society)
