The Paper learned from the Jiangbei District Procuratorate of Ningbo on May 24th that the first large-scale money theft case in Ningbo, which was prosecuted by the court a few days ago, was tried by the court, and seven defendants were sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment ranging from 3 years to 4 years and 10 months.
According to reports, from June to December 2021, seven people, including the defendant Su Moumou, tricked others into downloading by publishing a website with Trojan software on the Internet. Once someone clicks download, the computer is hacked and controlled remotely. Su Moumou and others can control the victim’s computer and steal the virtual currency of his virtual currency account. At the same time, they also pretend to be victims to provide accounts to their friends to receive virtual coins.

Mr. Xu, a citizen of Ningbo, is the victim. In December 2021, Mr. Xu found that more than 1.61 million TEDA coins were missing from his account. A few days later, Mr. Xu contacted a friend through a software to ask for virtual coins. After sending the address to a friend, he did not receive it. He asked the other party but was told that the virtual currency had already been transferred. Mr. Xu checked the chat record and found that the account had been replaced long ago, and the friend’s virtual currency directly entered the account of the money-stealing gang. Mr. Xu realized that his account had been stolen.
It turned out that after Su Moumou invaded Mr. Xu’s computer, he also monitored its dynamics in real time. Once it was monitored that Mr. Xu’s chat record with his friends involved virtual currency transactions, he logged into Mr. Xu’s chat account in different places, and received more than 3.98 million TEDA coins and 100 Ethereum coins from the victim’s friends by replacing the virtual currency account. In addition, Su Moumou and others also took the initiative to pretend to be Mr. Xu and "borrowed" 100,000 TEDA from another friend of his.
As determined by the procuratorate, He Moumou cashed in a total of 28 million yuan with virtual currency.
After the incident, the public security organs recovered some virtual coins by freezing the receiving accounts. He Moumou took the initiative to compensate Mr. Xu for 15 million yuan and was forgiven by the other party. Other defendants have also paid back the illegal income in full and compensated the victims for their losses.
The case was prosecuted by Jiangbei Procuratorate. Recently, the court sentenced Su Moumou, an accessory, to four years and ten months’ imprisonment for theft, and the other six members of criminal gangs were sentenced to three years’ imprisonment, suspended for three years and six months to five years.
