< H2 > extended information:
on May 31, 2018, the Economic Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of public security revealed seven types of pyramid schemes traps to remind the public to be vigilant. Among them, virtual currency, consumer rebate, wechat mobile game and financial mutual aid are related to the Internet, and the other three traditional types of MLM, namely, proct prop, capital operation and charity mutual aid, can not be ignored
in November 2017, Shanghai municipal public security organs, together with other public security organs across the country, cracked the case of "MBI" international group suspected of organizing and leading pyramid schemes. It is understood that in 2015, Wang, a suspect, was registered online and joined the "MBI" (group headquarters in Malaysia).
"MBI" has set up "MFC game financing platform" on the Internet under the guise of "game financing plan" to turn its "barter currency" (also known as GRC and M currency) into "virtual currency"“ MBI makes the "barter currency" circulate through online shopping mall and offline business transactions, and then publicizes the lies of "virtual currency" only rising but not falling by holding propaganda meetings and other forms
according to the introction, where the "MFC game token financing" went, many victims' hard-earned money for many years was swept away, and many family members turned against each other and friends became enemies
the real reason for the geometric multiple growth of participants is the "dynamic income", that is, the reward for developing offline. Like most pyramid schemes, "MBI" has also set up "direct promotion Award", "confrontation Award" and "algebra Award". According to the number of development lines and the amount of investment, they are presented in the form of tokens. The participants form a huge pyramid network, and the essence of its operation is the Ponzi scheme of "eat first and then" P>
in a video provided by the police, the suspect Xu said that this is a "zero sum game", investors are looking at the rate of return, in fact, the company is looking at the capital of investors. According to the police, MLM can not be replaced without the three characteristics of paying entry fees, developing offline, and getting paid through direct or indirect development offline. We need to be alert to two new types of MLM, namely wechat mobile games and financial mutual assistance
it is understood that MLM like "spark prairie" and "magic farm" are bound together with the publicity of "Internet finance" and "game finance" by means of wechat, mobile travel and other simple and convenient ways to create a "fastest spreading" wechat mobile travel MLM. MLM organizers falsely claim that they can get rich while playing games. The biggest feature is that the entry threshold is low. Players join the game sequence by scanning the QR code, forming the relationship between the upper and lower lines, and spreading faster
"integrity trading treasure" such as financial mutual MLM, known as the "capital plate" of the network world, known as building a mutual win-win platform. Participants must give up first and get later. Only by self-help matching on the platform and providing financial help for others, can they obtain the qualification of being helped by others. The design of financial mutual aid MLM focuses on capital, plays the capital game and money stimulation, so that more participants can not break the situation, which is a more confusing MLM mode
one day in March this year, the internet police brigade of Tengzhou Public Security Bureau in Shandong Province found that a Biotechnology Co., Ltd. was suspected of engaging in pyramid selling. The person in charge of the company develops members by "buying hundreds of yuan of daily necessities and skin care procts". Members form a pyramid like hierarchical structure on the company's website according to the recommended relationship. Marketing systems such as layer award and quantity award are formulated. The number of members developing offline is used as the basis for remuneration and rebate to lure participants to develop offline
according to the introction of Tengzhou public security network police brigade, the marketing means of the organization involved in communication can get a free ride on the Internet. Contact the factory through the network to proce a brand of daily necessities and skin care procts, exaggerate the efficacy, set the sales price at 5-10 times of the purchase price, instill the dream of making a fortune to the members through wechat chat and field lectures, and publicize the bonus system. At present, the case is still under investigation
relevant people from the Economic Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security said that the traditional pyramid selling of procts and props should not be ignored. For example, the infamous "butterfly bud" pyramid marketing case took procts as a gimmick and developed offline in the name of selling skin care procts, health care procts and daily necessities
there are some similarities between the consumption rebate type of MLM and the traditional proct prop type of MLM, but they are more hidden. This kind of MLM activities, represented by "xinfutu", under the banner of e-commerce or micro commerce, rely on the online mall, use a small amount of goods as props, and use "consumption rebate" and "value-added consumption" as t to lure members to join. The seemingly beautiful "sharing economy" is actually all deceptive
first, there are many names. Common are: "XX financial mutual aid community", "XX financial mutual aid platform", "XX financial mutual aid financing", "XX charity financial mutual aid platform", "XX financial mutual aid investment", "XX mutual aid community", "XX wealth mutual aid platform", etc< Second, it develops rapidly. Relying on the Internet, through the website, blog, wechat, QQ and other platforms, the publicity has a wide range
thirdly, it is confusing. Under the banner of "overseas celebrities", some claim to "destroy the unfair world financial system, break the control of financiers, and create a community for ordinary people" as the goal. Through the establishment of the so-called "fair, just, mutually beneficial and honest financial platform for people to help others", the public can get more help by subsidizing others. At the same time, he falsely claimed that "after market test, he has been mature in many countries for many years, and has hundreds of millions of members in the world" and so on
4. Strong incement. It claims that the investment threshold is low, the cycle is short and the income is high. For example, after free registration, the investment of RMB 60000-60000 can be withdrawn after 15 days, with daily income of 1%, monthly income of 30%, annual income of 23 times, and no handling charge. In addition, if participants develop others to join, they can also get extra income such as recommendation Award (10% of offline investment) and Management Award (the corresponding proportion is determined according to the membership level). There is no upper limit for development personnel and no upper limit for rebate< 5. Strong concealment. Most of them are controlled remotely by overseas personnel, and the investment funds are often transferred through personal bank accounts or through third-party payment platforms
this kind of operation mode violates the law of value, and it is difficult to maintain the capital operation for a long time. Once the capital chain breaks, investors will face serious losses. The general public is requested to raise their awareness of risks, invest rationally and prudently, and prevent their interests from being damaged. At the same time, we can actively report to the relevant departments the clues we have learned about crimes

On December 14, according to the Haidian court's official website, a bitcoin player sued huocoin for damages for a loss of 217194 yuan. Haidian court accepted the case a few days ago. Due to the arbitration clause stipulated in the user agreement, the court finally ruled to reject the plaintiff's lawsuit
after the player sues the fire coin fraud and makes a claim, the court considers that if the party applies to the people's court to make a ruling on the validity of the arbitration agreement, it should be under the jurisdiction of the intermediate people's court in the place where the arbitration institution is located
at present, there is no definite legal attribute of bitcoin fund and other financial procts; It is also difficult for investors to see the situation of its controllers, capital pool and risk control, which contains greater risks. The player sues the fire coin net to be rejected, the judge reminds the investor should maintain the full vigilance, must not blindly follow suit. Although the supervision modes of virtual currency are different in different countries, it is the general trend to strengthen the supervision, and virtual currency should be included in the standardized development path. The similar cases of bitcoin players suing fire coin network will be more and more standardized, and investment is risky, so we need to be cautious when entering the market
