According to reports (reporter Sun Siya), two security guards, surnamed Zhang and Yang from the Children's Hospital, took advantage of their positions at the special needs outpatient clinic and extorted tens of thousands of yuan from scalpers. Yesterday, it was reported that the Xicheng Court sentenced them both to four years and four months, and one year in prison respectively for extortion. Long-term scalpers Xu and Meng testified that the special needs outpatient clinic only had expert appointments, and they could earn about 400 yuan each time after selling them. After Zhang arrived, he would ask them for money whenever he saw them queuing, and threatened them with words: "Give me 200 yuan each time, or you will be kicked out, don't come back to queue for registration, otherwise I will take you to the police station." Because they were afraid of being dealt with by the police, they had no choice but to comply, giving more than 8,000 yuan and over 2,000 yuan respectively. In August 2010, when the security personnel changed shifts, Zhang was transferred away, and the new security guard Yang continued the "business" of extorting scalpers, continuing this risk-free and highly profitable business. Yang reduced the daily charge to 100 yuan per person, and apart from verbal threats, he even resorted to physical violence against those who refused to pay. Yang extorted a total of more than 50,000 yuan from four scalpers.
