The entire Japanese-occupied area was shaken, no less than a magnitude 12 earthquake.
This kind of soft economic disaster is more serious than those disasters that can be seen at a glance.
In an earthquake, you can see houses collapse, but this means families are destroyed and people are killed, disappearing without a trace.
The Japanese government investigation team moved into the Flower Bar, but several steps later, the Flower Bar's computer room disappeared.
We haven't found any important data, so what's the point of investigating?
The entire flower bar company was taken away; they were all low-level staff, and most of the employees were sales promoters.
Fortunately, there is also a fund pool account. Looking at the transaction history, the highest total value reached 21 trillion yen, which is roughly equivalent to more than 130 billion US dollars.
But when I checked the account, there was still over 700 yen left. Where did the money go?
The investigation is a massive undertaking.
This involves many legitimate businesses such as banks, foreign trade companies, and auction houses.
There are also many irregular ones, such as many illegal casinos.
What's even more infuriating is that there are even virtual websites with all sorts of random auctions, clearly designed to transfer funds.
By the time they traced the money to the offshore bank, nearly three months had passed. They knew, of course, that the money was unrecoverable.
On the day the scandal broke, the Japanese stock market plummeted, and the yen, which had been rising in the foreign exchange market, also fell sharply.
If Mitsui Tousaburo had known about the guaranteed minimum return, he wouldn't have sold at a loss.
Unfortunately, there's no going back. Even if there were, if he chose money, he wouldn't live to spend it. Xing Baohua wouldn't give him time; staying in Japan would be even riskier.
If we can wipe out 15 of them, why would we care about one more?
Who would have thought that a fictitious pig butchering scam company would steal hundreds of billions of dollars from Japan?
This led to a complete collapse of Japan's already fragile economy, with chain reactions exceeding those of previous economic crises.
In the past, I could grit my teeth and persevere, but this time I fell to the ground on my own.
It's like an adult falling from two meters in the air directly onto a concrete surface—it's a crisp, cracking sound. You won't die, but it'll be extremely painful.
Xing Baohua had previously envisioned using a protest to obstruct the official investigation, but before the plan could be implemented, it was thwarted by the regulatory authorities.
Protests have now erupted across R, one demanding refunds from the flower shops and the other calling for the resignation of those in power in Taiwan.
The audience was also cheering, and things were in complete chaos on the Japanese side.
The gangs also took advantage of the chaos to seize territory, but most of them were actually debt collectors. They collected collateral from those with loans, and people from those without.
According to rumors, 10 out of 100 women in the entire country have entered the sex industry.
Are even women in their sixties and seventies getting involved? Well, some people just love this kind of thing.
In fact, many housewives have been badly scammed by Huaba, leaving them with almost nothing. They might have been able to keep some jewelry and gold ornaments, but then there was a gold and silver recycling program, such as "trade-in" or "buy new gold and silver jewelry with Huaba and get cash back," etc.
Not only were the gold and silver jewelry gone, but they also discovered that a ghost had appeared in the body.
The destination of funds in offshore banks has become a mystery.
It's not that the Japanese can't investigate, but it's extremely troublesome. Fortunately, the transfer takes time, and there's also the time for settlement.
The Japanese eventually recovered $1.7 billion.
It was only thanks to the timely freezing by the World Bank's clearing department that the money was saved; otherwise, there would have been only a few hundred yen left in that account—how ironic.
The Japanese investigators were also completely baffled. The company "Huaba" had been a fictitious entity from the start. The staff were fake; the investigation revealed that the real identities of the deceased executives were different from the names they used at Huaba, and their addresses were also fake.
Tell me, who designed such a huge pit?
Those who died must have known who was behind them. By checking the interpersonal relationships of senior executives and the phone call records, they actually found two or three suspicious numbers.
One is the head of data connectivity at π Payment, and the other is the secretary to the chairman of a listed company.
This was found through the phone call of the president of the Flower Bar. Whether it was a business contact or a contact for other matters, the principle was to first investigate and then ask questions.
The involvement of π Payment, coupled with media coverage, led to π Payment users rapidly withdrawing their funds.
Fortunately, I didn't see any upgrades or maintenance, or any message saying that withdrawals are temporarily unavailable and that I should contact customer service.
This also led to a significant outflow of funds from the π payment fund pool.
Sun, the founder of π Payment, urgently convened a board meeting. The first priority was to devise countermeasures to stabilize user base. The second was to hire a top lawyer to sue J, the party responsible for the arrest of a senior π Payment employee.
The direct and indirect losses to π Payment were caused by the lack of working capital.
Fortunately, it wasn't a cash withdrawal, but a digital transfer.
The advantage of digital transfers is that you can clearly see the number arriving in your account, and there will be a text notification saying "Withdrawal successful, please check your bank account balance."
While it may seem like π payment is experiencing a run on the bank, the money has actually remained untouched and is still in its place.
The money lost was actually π Payment's profit, and this loss of profit led to dissatisfaction among π Payment's shareholders.
The bank relies on this little bit of interest to make a living, and you've cut off the payments?
Consequently, the banking institutions representing the shareholders behind π Payment have all expressed their support for it.
With bank backing, π Payment will not encounter issues such as withdrawal failures.
Pi payment won't become a payment platform, please use it with confidence.
Because π Pay's withdrawal was fast and the full amount arrived, it increased the company's credibility and brought back a group of customers who continued to use the service.
They dare not make any moves in Taiwan and Japan. One payment has already crippled them, and if another one comes along, how can they possibly make a living?
With the intervention of a prominent figure, π Payment dropped the matter. However, the damage to their reputation was irreparable.
