According to Liaoning TV, Chinese men's basketball star Guo Ailun was deceived by his friend Tao Ge into investing in a sports IP project claiming to have a cultural tourism fund, with an annualized return of 22%. Guo Ailun invested four times, totaling 10 million yuan. On the night the last payment was received, Tao Ge blocked him, turned off his phone, and canceled his accounts. His hometown restaurant was closed overnight, and Guo Ailun's money was split into more than ten transactions, converted into virtual currency, and then transferred abroad to an offshore shell company in Seychelles.
