Exclusive｜Chinese man defrauded fellow countryman of 120 million in virtual currency and fled to Malaysia, but the thief shouted to catch the thief
(Kuala Lumpur 3th News/Exclusive Report‧Photography) A Chinese man was suspected of setting up a virtual currency investment scam. He defrauded his fellow villagers of more than 30 million US dollars (approximately RM122.73 million) in four years and then fled to Malaysia. Unexpectedly, when the victim pursued him across the country, he actually reported to the police claiming to have been beaten and robbed, and staged a "thief shouts, catch thief" drama.
In an interview with , the Chairman of the Worldwide Humanity Care Organisation (WHCO), Mr. Dato’ Paduka Seri Lai, revealed that a 38-year-old man surnamed Li came to him for help on the 15th of last month, claiming that the bank card, RM40,000 in cash and passport in his pocket were robbed by four fellow villagers, so he accompanied them to an apartment in Kuala Lumpur to negotiate with the five Chinese men and women involved.
"Unexpectedly, when the five people saw Li, they unanimously accused him. He was the real leader of the fraud group."
He said that the Li was accused of using virtual currency investment scams to defraud more than 30 million US dollars in China since 2022, and the five Chinese men and women were victims' representatives and came to Malaysia specifically to recover the losses.
Mr. Lai said that the five people denied robbery and pointed out that the so-called "robbed" pocket was actually left at the scene when Mr. Li left on his own during the negotiation and was not taken away by anyone.
He then accompanied both parties to the police station to report the case. The police informed that five Chinese men and women had made a report on Li's suspected fraud as early as the 7th of last month.
Mr. Lai said that when the two parties negotiated again the next day, Li felt guilty and left midway again, and then lost contact.
"I believe that Li is not a victim, but a fraud leader suspected of planning a virtual currency investment scam."
On the other hand, Assistant Director Sazalee, Director of Dang Wangi Police District, confirmed that the police have received relevant reports and the case is still under investigation and no one has been arrested yet.
Wanted by Chinese police
Man fled to Thailand and then to Malaysia
According to Mr. Lai's investigation, Mr. Li, who was alleged to be the leader of a fraud group, was originally wanted by the Chinese police on suspicion of fraud. He then fled to Thailand and then took refuge in Malaysia!
Mr. Lai pointed out that during the meeting between the two parties, when he learned that the Chinese Embassy in Malaysia might intervene in the investigation, Mr. Li immediately became restless and refused to disclose his phone number due to language barriers. He then fled midway and has since lost contact.
He said that unexpectedly, Mr. Li went to the police station to report the case again on the 31st of last month, accusing him of being blackmailed and beaten with knives by five fellow villagers, and transferred 2.9 million Tether (approximately RM11.83 million) in his account to two accounts. However, he was unable to provide the police with an injury report and substantive evidence at that time.
"I believe that Mr. Li reported a false case in order to get back his passport seized by the police as soon as possible and escape from Malaysia."
He said that this was not the first time for the five Chinese men and women to come to Malaysia. They reported the case to the Malaysian police last year and submitted all evidence.
Mr. Lai pointed out that according to his investigation, Mr. Li was suspected to be a wanted criminal in China, but he did not know when he entered Malaysia.
"Recently, more and more foreign fraud groups have set up bases in Malaysia. We hope that the authorities will pay attention to this issue to prevent Malaysia from becoming a major country for transnational fraud groups to set up bases."
