grab red envelopes in the WeChat group, and the robot automatically calculates the win or loss, but can it lose more than 1.6 million yuan in ? Recently, Ningbo Jiangbei police went to Fujian Quanzhou to destroy a well-organized and highly concealed online gambling criminal gang, and arrested six suspects. According to the police, the gang used WeChat groups to grab red envelopes to play online gambling, which is very rare in recent years. As of the time of being arrested by the police, the gang's WeChat gambling taps made a profit of more than 10 million yuan, and the gambling funds involved were over 100 million yuan.

The young man who was involved in the crime lost 600,000 yuan in half a year and lost his job and ran away with his girlfriend

24-year-old Xiaotao (pseudonym) is a local from Ningbo. He used to work as a salesperson in a foreign-funded enterprise with a monthly salary of nearly 10,000 yuan, a car and a house, and a girlfriend who has been in love for many years. He is preparing to get married at the end of this year and live a comfortable life. However, because of a red envelope group, he paid a heavy price.

At the end of last year, a netizen pulled Xiaotao into a group and said there were red envelopes in it and he could grab them at will. After Xiaotao grabbed the 200 yuan red envelope, the netizen sent him the game rules of " bullfighting " and asked him to place a bet and play. Due to the sensibility, Xiao Yang paid 20 yuan to play with it. As a result, the number represented by the red envelope he grabbed was not as big as the dealer. According to the 10-fold winning or losing rule, he lost 200 yuan at once. However, after a few moves, he won a lot of them, with each move ranging from a few hundred yuan to tens of thousands of yuan.

That night, Xiaotao eventually lost 5,000 yuan. He was unwilling to accept it and wanted to win a little, but he was out of control and fell deeper and deeper. Although I gradually realized that the group was doing gambling, the stimulation of winning and losing at a high rate was too attractive. At the beginning, he just played at night, and soon he was secretly playing during the daytime work, and his bets were getting bigger and bigger. During the Chinese New Year this year, one day he had already won more than 100,000 yuan, but he refused to stop, but he lost more than 100,000 yuan.

At the end of May this year, Because Xiaotao was addicted to snatching red envelopes and gambling, he had no intention of working, and his business plummeted, and his company persuaded him to withdraw. Not long after, his girlfriend, who repeatedly advised him to quit gambling, saw that he still didn't repent, and was discouraged and left him. When this gambling group was disbanded in June, he had already lost more than 600,000 yuan in .

arrested the police and removed the rare "red envelope grabbing" gambling gang

In June this year, after receiving clues about someone using WeChat red envelopes to gambling, the Jiangbei Branch of Ningbo Municipal Public Security Bureau immediately dispatched elite police forces from public security, network police and other departments to form a special task force to conduct an investigation and found an online gambling gang that may be lurking in Fujian, radiating to many provinces and cities across the country, with strict organization and clear division of labor.

According to Chen Yicong, a police officer of the task force, such gangs have been very rare in recent years. The gang is gambling online, which is very hidden. The main shareholders in the gang are basically brothers and fellow villagers. They have roles such as "financial", "driver", "contractor", "handler", and "rewarder". They also purchase "robot" scoring software to efficiently count the market scores and calculate the winners and loses. "Leshou" specially brings people in. "If you don't participate in gambling for 10 or 20 minutes, they will kick people out of the group immediately."

police analyzed that the gang organized gamblers through the Internet, with a large number of participants, strong concealment and a wide radiation range. Through multi-party investigation, the task force quickly grasped the organizational structure and activity rules of this online gambling criminal gang, and finally determined that the main criminal suspects such as Dajun (pseudonym) were distributed in Fujian, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other places.

htmlOn September 7, the task force sent special forces to Fujian where the suspect was located, and with the cooperation of the local police, the target brothers were successfully arrested. After interrogation, from June last year to June this year, Dajun brothers hired multiple people to act as handlers, contractors, finance, prize redemptionists, drivers and other roles in the casino, and made a profit of more than 10 million yuan from tapping, and the gambling funds involved in the case were over 100 million yuan.

After achieving a key breakthrough in the case, in order to further expand the results, the case handlers successively moved to Fuzhou, Fujian, Nantong, Jiangsu and other places, arrested other staff members of the casino, and arrested Chen and four others. At present, six suspects including Dajun have been taken to take compulsory measures, and the case is being further explored.

routine WeChat group "grab red envelopes", and you can win or lose 40,000 to 50,000 yuan in 3 minutes

According to the police, the gang organized gambling through WeChat group grabbing red envelopes, and each game was pumped 3% from the total amount won. "In other words, as long as you keep playing, no matter how you win or lose, you will eventually be eliminated." It only takes 4 steps to join the gambling WeChat group formed by the gang to lose all your belongings.

The first step is that the gang first establishes a WeChat gambling group, and “pull hands” to bring WeChat friends who are interested in gambling into the group. Every time a gambling is started, the group owner will post messages in the group and temporarily form a gambling WeChat group to allow interested group members to temporarily join the group. In order to avoid supervision, the temporary WeChat group will be deleted immediately after the gambling ends that day.

Step 2, "financial" guides gambling participants to remit money to exchange gambling points and gambling deposits. "People who want to participate in the gambling must first promise how much they are to bet, and they must first transfer the money to the 'pointers', that is, finance, which converts finance into corresponding points. Each game will automatically calculate the corresponding points based on the winning or losing situation. If you decide to withdraw, you must contact finance, redeem the remaining points into corresponding money, and transfer money through third-party platforms such as Alipay." The police officer in charge of the case introduced.

Step 3, the "contractor" sends out a corresponding amount of WeChat "random red envelope" based on the number of people participating in each round to ensure that the gambler grabs a three-digit "red envelope". In order to stimulate gamblers, the gang also stipulates that the dealer can be auctioned, and those who place more bets can be given priority. According to the rules, the amount of "red envelopes" you grab can correspond to the corresponding win or loss. For example, "1.23 yuan" or "3.21 yuan" is the straight, and the corresponding odds can be as high as 20 times or even 22 times.

Step 4: After the gambler grabs the "red envelope", the "robot" friends in the group will quickly convert the "red envelope" amount into the corresponding betting multiplier of the gambler according to the rules. At the same time, referring to the "bullfighting" rules for playing cards, calculate the winning or losing situation of this set and automatically generate the results of the form to publish the form. The settlement will be made by the "financial" in the group, and points will be deducted according to each person's winning or losing rate. Since the robot automatically calculates the winning or losing, the fastest game is only 3 minutes. In other words, a gambler can win or lose 40,000 to 50,000 yuan in as fast as 3 minutes.

revealed that he made a profit of 100,000 yuan every day, and the money involved in the case was over 100,000 yuan

According to the suspect Dajun's confession after he was arrested, he had originally tried to attack the boss in another WeChat gambling group to grab red envelopes, and was very familiar with the entire gambling routine. He saw that it was too easy for others to "make money" so easily. In June last year, he brought his younger brother and fellow villagers out to "work alone", hired roles such as "hand-hand" and "contractors" online, purchased "robot" software, and started to operate "WeChat red envelopes" online gambling.

In order to obtain more benefits, they also invited relatives and friends to be " bet ". "The winners and losses of 'gambling entrusting' are virtual, and they are mainly responsible for engaging the atmosphere in the group. The amount of red envelopes they grab is their wages." The police officer in charge of the case introduced, "When there are fewer people, there are more gambling entrusting, such as 40 people entrusting, and seven or eight of them may be gambling entrusting, and when 70 people entrusting, the gambling entrusting will be reduced to five or six."

"In order to win over gambling, this group has also specially established a 'welfth group' on WeChat, and sends red envelopes of several thousand yuan for everyone to grab when the gambling is about to end." The police officer in charge of the case said that the gang starts at noon every day and ends until the early morning of the next day. The addition of the robot made the gang's "red envelope gambling" take a short time and the capital flows quickly. One game ended in three to five minutes and started a new game immediately, with amazing efficiency.

According to the preliminary investigation by the police, the maximum number of people in the group was nearly 200, and they made a profit of more than 100,000 yuan every day. Over the past year, the gang's operating capital has exceeded 100 million yuan, and the profit of pumping water has exceeded 10 million yuan.

The police remind

"grabbing red envelopes" must also be divided into nature. If it is a small amount of mutual contribution between relatives and friends and is not profitable, it can be regarded as a gift and does not involve any illegality. But if you grab red envelopes for profit, you are suspected of gambling. Gambling using WeChat is also a gambling act. If a criminal case filing standard is reached, criminal liability shall be held criminally responsible for gambling or opening a casino.According to relevant laws, organizes gambling with more than three people, tap profits of more than 5,000 yuan, cumulative gambling funds of more than 50,000 yuan, and more than 20 people participating in the gambling. As long as one of these three situations is met, the police can file a case. If citizens are pulled into the group suspected of gambling red envelopes, please do not participate and call the police in time.
