<p>Zhengzhou Today - A Qingdao man surnamed Guo exchanged USD, bought a house in Beijing, and obtained a graduate diploma from Peking University while cohabiting with his Zhengzhou girlfriend for over 8 years. On the day of their breakup, he was accused by his girlfriend's family of defrauding them out of 4.1 million yuan. Yesterday, the Intermediate People's Court of Zhengzhou announced that the man was sentenced to life imprisonment in the first trial and fined 700,000 yuan.</p>
<p>The Intermediate People's Court of Zhengzhou found that in May 2000, Jingjing (a pseudonym), a girl from Zhengzhou, met Guo in Qingdao, Shandong Province. Guo concealed the fact that he was already married and began a romantic relationship with Jingjing, eventually cohabiting with her.</p>
<p>From 2001 to 2007, Guo lied about needing to exchange USD, obtaining a Peking University graduate diploma for Jingjing, buying a house in Beijing for Jingjing's parents, paying idle taxes on land purchased in the Huangdao Development Zone, and requiring funds for company registration and inventory purchases. He repeatedly deceived Jingjing’s mother, accumulating a total of 4.1 million yuan.</p>

<p>Guo's friend Xu, unaware whether Guo had actually purchased land in the Huangdao Development Zone, still acted as a cover for Guo when they showed the land to Jingjing. They both participated in the fraud by claiming that their company needed registered capital and funds for inventory purchases, deceiving Jingjing’s mother out of 1.505 million yuan (as detailed in our report on April 15 titled "Living Together for 8 Years, Did He Scam His Girlfriend Out of 4.1 Million Yuan?").</p>
<p>To date, the police have recovered 60,000 yuan of the stolen money and returned it to the victim.</p>
<p>According to Article of the Criminal Law of China, those who defraud public or private property in especially large amounts or under other particularly serious circumstances shall be sentenced to more than ten years in prison or life imprisonment, and may also be fined or have their property confiscated.</p>
<p>The Intermediate People's Court of Zhengzhou ruled that Guo defrauded Jingjing’s mother out of 4.1 million yuan, an especially large amount. Guo played a major role in the joint crime and is the principal offender. Guo squandered the vast majority of the money he scammed, making it almost impossible to recover the cash, resulting in extremely severe consequences, warranting a heavier penalty.</p>
<p>After being apprehended, Xu voluntarily confessed to the crimes and demonstrated a good attitude of confession. In the joint fraud, Xu played a supporting role and is considered a secondary offender, thus deserving a reduced sentence.</p>
<p>Based on this, the court sentenced Guo to life imprisonment for fraud, deprived him of political rights for life, and fined him 700,000 yuan; Xu was sentenced to seven years in prison and fined 100,000 yuan.</p>
