The Baoshan District Procuratorate in Shanghai yesterday disclosed a case. The defendant, surnamed Huang, illegally crossed the border to participate in telecom fraud activities abroad, inducing victims to invest in virtual currency. After the dissolution of the Myawaddy compound in Myanmar, Huang continued to participate in "romance scam" fraud, using AI face-swapping, communication with foreign models, and other methods to gain victims' trust before guiding them to invest in cryptocurrency. Subsequently, a team leader would take over, tricking victims into registering, depositing, and investing on fake websites. Huang was ultimately sentenced by the court to two years and six months in prison for fraud, along with a fine of 30,000 yuan.
