3.46 million yuan, stolen by a "netizen."

Sichuan Gaoping Public Security solved the case, caught the person, and recovered over 600,000 yuan.

3.46 million yuan → 600,000 yuan, recovery rate about 17%.

This is the cruelest part of scams—catching the person, recovering some money, but victims are unlikely to get back all their principal.

You've seen this script countless times:

Act One: Seeing virtual currency investment ads online, "Guaranteed profit with no loss."

Act Two: Making the first trial of 20,000 yuan. Deng Mouhui posts daily profit screenshots.

Act Three: "Invest more this time, higher returns." Building trust, adding more.

Act Four: Investing 3.46 million yuan.

Act Five: When the payout date arrives, blacklisting, losing contact.

The detail of posting daily profit screenshots is worth noting—

This isn't "I tell you you can make money," but "Let you see with your own eyes that you're making money every day." The numbers on the screen are more convincing than any sales pitch because they are the "evidence" you see with your own eyes.

Deng Mouhui's profile is also typical: no fixed income, high consumption habits, heavily in debt. He fabricates a virtual currency project, using the stolen money to buy houses and cars to pay debts.

He never intended to repay the money from the start.

Even more ironic is the detail of recovering assets—properties and vehicles purchased with stolen funds are now to be confiscated according to law. It’s like using victims’ money to buy things, then returning the items, but who will compensate for the loss in between?

Out of the 3.46 million yuan, about 2.86 million has probably disappeared forever.

Public security agencies are increasingly capable of tracking—fund flow, multi-dimensional data, cross-province arrests.

But the efficiency of tracking stolen money will never catch up with how quickly scammers spend money. #Gate广场五月交易分享 $BOME
