According to Beijing Evening News, a woman in her sixties in Beijing impersonated a woman in her twenties working at a "central government department" to establish an online romantic relationship with a man who had never been in love before, and deceived him out of more than 200,000 yuan by claiming to study abroad, a family member was ill, and other reasons. The woman then invested all the funds in virtual currency trading, using 10x leverage to operate, and ultimately lost everything when the market dropped and her position was liquidated. The Haidian Court recently sentenced her to four years in prison for fraud, imposed a fine, and ordered her to compensate the victim for the financial loss.

A 60-year-old plays a 20-year-old's role, and the crypto world has made Auntie feel young again.

Sentenced to 4 years, refunding is probably difficult, losing money in the crypto world, should I ask the on-chain address?

This sister treats scams as principal, contracts as lottery tickets, and ends up losing both.

Getting liquidated with 10x leverage, I'm familiar with this move; the difference is I lose my own money.
