Recently, the People's Court of Songyang County, Lishui City, Zhejiang Province tried a mega-transnational online gambling case in which people gathered to gamble. The amount involved was 4 billion yuan, and the illegal profits of criminals reached 58 million yuan. On January 9, Songyang County Court sentenced the defendant Zhou to five years' imprisonment for the crime of opening a casino, and fined him 5 million yuan, and continued to recover the illegal income that he had not returned.

the defendant Zhou, 47, is a native of Lucheng, Wenzhou. He was arrested by the procuratorate on October 22, 214 on suspicion of opening a casino. On November 26, the same year, Interpol issued an international arrest warrant. He was arrested in Vietnam on April 5, 216 and was later transferred back to China.

after investigation, since June 212, Zhou, Peng (sentenced), Quan Mohao, Quan Mouyu (both at large) and others have participated in the establishment of Wenzhou Xinghao Technology Co., Ltd.. The company hired a group of network technicians such as Wang, Wu Mou, Chen Mou, Zhu and Xiao (all sentenced) to create an online chess and card game platform (referred to as "998 Game Center") with the domain name of www.games998.net on the Internet.

There are 14 gambling games in the center, such as "Tongbi Niuniu", "Two-player Stud", "Wenzhou Mahjong" and "Multi-player Xiao Jiu", and the self-created "Bar Bean" game coins are sold as gambling chips.

in order to obtain huge illegal benefits, the game center has specially opened a group of silver merchants headed by Zhou, which is used to collect and sell the "bar beans" needed by gambling games, so as to facilitate gamers to freely exchange bar beans with RMB, and also hired special customer service personnel to answer questions of gamers.

In May p>213, in order to escape the attack of the public security organs, Quan Mohao decided to move the company's work place to Vietnam, and at the same time changed the website domain name to www.51998.co to continue to operate the online gambling platform.

on June 18th, 214, after careful investigation, the game platform was seized by the public security organs.

after investigation, the investigators found that there were more than 2.4 million gamer accounts on the platform, and nearly 19 trillion game coins were generated after being purchased at the bank, which was as high as 4 billion yuan at the price of the bank's sale. The illegal profits of Zhou and other criminals reached 58 million yuan.

In addition, Zhou also participated in the online gambling group of "78 Game Platform", and made an illegal profit of more than 8, yuan. After the incident in June 214, eight people, including Peng Mou, Xu Mou, Zhang Mou and Wo Mou, were brought to justice and transferred to prosecution and sentenced. Some people involved in the case, such as Quan Mouhao and Quan Mouyu, are still at large.
