According to reports (by reporter Li Kui): After establishing the illegal "China Military-Civilian Medical College", Cai and others defrauded students of nearly 250,000 yuan. This morning, it was learned that Cai, who self-proclaimed himself as "Dean," has been sentenced by the Haidian Court to 12 years in prison for fraud and had his political rights deprived for two years.
It is understood that the "China Military-Civilian Medical College" was founded by Cai in July 2008.
Since Cai did not understand teaching management, he recruited retired teacher Hou from Capital Medical University (who has already been sentenced) to serve as vice-dean. Cai was responsible for recruiting students, while Hou mainly handled enrollment registration, collecting tuition fees, and signing commitment letters with parents. Additionally, Cai arranged for his 30-year-old girlfriend Ma (who has also been sentenced) to manage the accounts.
In order to make the "military school" appear more authentic, Cai specially rented three offices at a certain military management institute in Haidian District. Some parents, seeing soldiers guarding the gate of the military compound and requiring someone to escort them in, gained additional trust. However, this "college" did not have even one classroom or teacher apart from these three rented admissions offices.
It is understood that Cai and others used the method of collecting student fees and meal fees, defrauding nine victims, including Mr. Yu, of nearly 250,000 yuan in just one month.
On October 20, 2009, Cai and others were arrested by the police.
