Among them, the main members of gambling gangs such as Lin Mou and Liu Mouquan have been prosecuted by the procuratorate for the crime of opening a casino by the end of May.
It looks like a chess and card game, but it is promoted in the way of "up and down points"
In November 2021, the police from the Network Security Brigade of the Public Security Bureau of Youxian District, Mianyang City found that a man surnamed Ma opened an online game platform promotion agency studio in Youxian District during an online inspection.
However, the police keenly discovered that Ma was likely to use this as a cover to engage in online gambling agency activities.
After discovering Ma's doubts, the police conducted an in-depth investigation and found that Ma's mobile game application called "Liu Dao" was only chess and card game software on the surface, but he promoted the platform by "up and down" online gambling. .
On December 13, 2021, the police arrested Ma, who explained the crime of using the "Liu Dao" platform to promote online gambling games and selling "gold coins" to gambling participants to earn the difference.
Through investigation and analysis of Ma's capital chain, information chain, and technology chain, the police found that he was only a fourth-level agent, and there was a "pyramid" type of online gambling gang hidden behind him.
Immediately, the Youxian District Public Security Branch established a task force.
On December 16, 2021, the special task force teamed up multiple troops and launched arrest operations in Chengdu, Luzhou, Sichuan, and Kunming, Yunnan at the same time, and arrested Lin Mou, Liu Mouquan, Lin Moukai, Huang Mou, the main members of the gambling gang, in one fell swoop. , Lu Mouhua, Gu Mouyou, Liu Mou, and their horses, a total of 35 people.
"Pyramid" management, the top members earn 8 million a year
After interrogation, Lin, who was born in 1992, only had a junior high school education and lived in Neijiang City.
In 2020, he established an online game company in Sichuan, and found 24-year-old Liu Mouquan to discuss using a legal company as a cover to engage in illegal online gambling to make huge profits.
The two decided that Lin would be responsible for renting overseas servers and developing gambling game software, and Liu Mouquan, as the general agent, purchased game "gold coins" from Lin and sold them to the next family.
Subsequently, Lin hired technicians from a network technology company in Sichuan to form a technical research and development team, and developed a number of gambling game platforms. The gambling content was mostly "fruit machines, fishing machines, and slot machines."
"In the process of operating online gambling, Lin and others used the 'pyramid' method to manage and promote the platform. Lin is at the top of the 'pyramid', and his main task is to generate 'gold coins' in the background." Lin sold the "gold coins" After giving it to the next home, swipe to the designated game ID account, and use its own online game company to provide the "dirty money laundering" service for the drainage team and the agent drainage team.
Liu Mouquan is the second level of the "pyramid".
As the general agent, Liu Mouquan purchased "gold coins" from Lin at the price of 800 yuan exchanged for 110 million "gold coins", and then split and wholesaled them to the IP accounts designated by Liu and others who were third-level agents. People go to set up a promotion and drainage team, and develop a fourth-level agency team like Ma, and carry out layer-by-layer distribution to earn the difference.
"This price difference is very scary. Liu Mouquan is 800 yuan for 110 million 'gold coins', and at the fourth level, it is 100 yuan for 1.5 million 'gold coins'." The police handling the case introduced that in just one year, Lin made a profit Up to more than 8 million yuan, Liu Mouquan made a profit of more than 3 million yuan...

A total of more than 100 gang members were arrested, the funds involved in the case flowed more than 80 million yuan, and the funds involved in the case were seized and frozen more than 10 million yuan.
