Or the act of raising funds from the public in the form of other debt certificates and promising to repay principal and interest or provide returns to investors in currency, kind or other means within a certain period of time.

In order to punish illegal fund-raising criminal activities such as illegal absorption of public deposits and fund-raising fraud in accordance with the law, the Supreme People's Court, together with the China Banking Regulatory Commission and other relevant units, studied and formulated the "Interpretation on Several Issues Concerning the Specific Application of Laws in the Trial of Criminal Cases of Illegal Fund-raising", which

The judicial interpretation will come into effect on January 4, 2011.

Illegal fund-raising refers to fund-raising without the approval of relevant departments in accordance with the law, including the approval of departments without approval authority; departments with approval authority exceed their authority to approve fund-raising, that is, the fund-raiser does not have the qualifications to raise funds and promises to repay the principal to the investor within a certain period of time.

Pay interest.

In addition to the main form of principal and interest repayment, there are also physical forms and other forms; funds are raised from unspecified objects in society.

The "unspecific objects" here refer to the public, rather than a specific few people; the essence of illegal fund-raising is concealed in a legal form.

Some leaders set up a platform for illegal fundraisers to collect money, and some officials and government departments cheered and even participated in sharing the profits. The two sides cooperated with each other tacitly, and the masses were deceived out of all their money in the blink of an eye. Why can such stories be repeated again and again without success?

In the face of the "chorus" of illegal fund-raising between certain officials and illegal fund-raising enterprises, it is really difficult to say that the latter "pulled the former into the water", and it is difficult to say that the former only "unintentionally" became a "living prop" and became an "accomplice"

.

Public security and judicial organs severely crack down on illegal fund-raising activities in accordance with the law, and must not let go of these ambiguous "living prop officials". As long as they participate in the "performance" of illegal fund-raising, whether they only collect appearance fees, or there will be further steps to follow.

All operations must bear party and government disciplinary responsibilities and legal responsibilities for this.

4. Use legal forms to conceal the essence of illegal fund-raising.

In order to conceal their illegal purposes, criminals often sign contracts with investors (victims) and disguise them as normal production and business activities to maximize their ultimate goal of defrauding funds.

Three New Characteristics Among the 13 suspected illegal fund-raising cases in Hebei, they all adopted the form of direct absorption of public deposits or fund-raising fraud. They can be roughly divided into four categories: debt, equity, commodity marketing, and production and operation, and have three major new characteristics:

First, illegal fund-raising methods vary.

Most criminals registered legal companies or enterprises, under the guise of responding to national industrial policies and supporting the illegal fundraising of nearly 3 billion for the new rural construction of the former chairman of Donghua, from traditional planting and breeding to engineering projects, technological development, and investment in shares.

, consumption rebates and other methods.

Second, multiple criminal behaviors are intertwined.

Criminals intertwined illegal fund-raising with economic crimes such as pyramid schemes and contract fraud. They used pyramid schemes to first brainwash fund-raisers, promising various preferential conditions and profit models, and then lured them to raise funds, trapping them layer by layer.

Generally, in the early stage of fund-raising, criminals often actively "fulfill" the promise of returns, defraud trust, attract more people to actively join, and the scale of fund-raising quickly increases exponentially.

The third is to illegally raise funds for publicity at all costs and use the media to build momentum.
