Wu Shuo learned that the Zhejiang Taizhou Cyber Police reported a scam case using the false pretenses of "Metaverse" and "virtual currency."

The criminal gang promoted facial recognition payment devices, initially attracting users through a points system, then诱导 investors to purchase their own issued "air coins," and continued to extract money through lock-up, price manipulation, and "currency exchange" methods, ultimately deceiving over 130 investors out of approximately 35 million yuan.
The court found that the defendant committed fraud with the purpose of illegal possession, with a particularly large amount involved, and sentenced him to 10 years in prison and a fine of 200,000 yuan.
