Delusional, the largest pyramid of the world in the newspaper la tribune http://www.latribune.fr/economie/international/chine-une-chaine-de-ponzi-a-7-6-milliards-de-dollars-mise-au-jour-547524.html, reports the Financial Times, which is based on information from the official new China News (Xinhua) Agency.
This chain of Ponzi scheme that represents a scam of 7.6 billion dollars (about 7 billion euros), was set up by Ezubao, one of the main platforms of loans between individuals (also called Community credits). The latter promised extremely enticing deals with climbing 15% interest rates.
The Chinese Communist Party is more concerned in addition to this type of derivatives. It estimated last month that the "excesses" of loans online – often very few platforms or not regulated, says Financial Times-, are threats to the financial stability of the system. Heuresement in france and Europe, we have controls (certification).
From Quartz, financial scams have cost $ 24 billion to China last year.
However with the number of Chinese, everything grows is really growing. What is surprising is that 15% is not so high. But if I understand correctly it is had weapons and other stuff not net. Also it is said: investment of 1 yuan, repurchased at any time, high yield at low risk. So actually if you can withdraw at any time, it is not normal.

Police investigators, under normal circumstances, project finance leasing companies earn spreads and the platform to earn the cost of intermediation, but ' "e rent treasure" from the outset a ' past-tours to the main tour"scams, the so-called fundamental misnomer lease project.»
"We fiction projects, the money transferred to the tenant, the tenant and the committees then transfer funds to subsidiaries of our company, in order to achieve the objective of diversion of the facts." Dinning said they do this before and has spent more than 800 million Yuan to the project and intermediary company buy information.
During the interview, 'based Cheng-Yu' many executives are confirmed to reporters that his firm used to buy companies or shell companies registered in other ways on the "' e rent treasure" draft platform of the fictional facts. ''
"As far as I know, ' e rental in. ' 95% of projects are false," Yu Cheng Anhui Financial Leasing Co., Lei Yong, Director of the risk control unit that directs cotinine hand, with 1.5% of the amount of funding. -2% for buy the Business Department of the information where it is responsible for the information of these companies willing to fulfill the contract, made a false entry in the ' e rent treasure"platform line. '' In order to strengthen the confidence of investors in the investment, they also used to change the way companies registered gold packaging projects.
Police in the police investigators have checked the 207 business tenants, one and Yu Cheng rental of real business.
Some companies involved in the incident have been kept in the dark until the same. Bengbu City, an official of the company, Mr. Wang said that his company had loans of money, the other party to enter the business license, tax registration certificate and other information by the security company Yu Cheng Group at the Bank, but until the end of 2015 after his business bank account is frozen, he learned by the organs of public safety in their business is "e rent treasure" false funding linked to. the Internet. "Their approach is too bad, I hope, the public security organs to punish such behaviour, but also one of our innocence." said Mr. Wang anger.
According to the people's Bank and other ministries issued "opinion on the promotion of the healthy development of the banking by Internet Guide,' platform of network information that intermediary services, you cannot implement a money reserve, don't provide credit guarantees. '' According to the police investigation, "e rent treasure" the absorption of the funds in the form of 'road' payment platform to a third party in the pool of its own funds, the equivalent of the "left pocket" put "the right pocket."
In addition, Yu Cheng Group also ensures the direct control of the three companies and a factoring company, "e rent treasure" project guarantees. Civil and economic of the China University of political science professor Li Aijun said that if the platform is introduced affiliated security agencies, creditors will bring great risk.
"In low-risk high-yield" commitment trap
"Investment 1 yuan, redeemed at any time, at high efficiency low risk." That is the slogan "e rent treasure" widely disseminated. Many investors have said that they are heard "e rent treasure" rate of interest of preservation of capital, the flexible withdrawal commitment that deceived. Reporters learned that 'e rent treasure' had launched a total of six products, the expected annual yield of between 9 and 14.6 per cent, much higher than the general rate of return financial products.
Investors Zhang said, sellers ' e rent treasure "encouraged him to say: «e rent treasure" information on capital preservation products, even if the company has failed to invest money or.»
Investors Mr. Xu calculations of journalists: "I get 10 million dollars by comparison, a year to put in the Bank to earn more than 2,000 dollars on the side 'e rental Po', it is the interest rate that it promises 14.6%, took one year to earn more than 14,000 yuan." "
Investors seats Lady said that it is 'e rent treasure' characteristics of flexible draw attracted. "general financial product can not be paid in advance, but ' e rental Po' 10 days in advance and to be outside."
In this regard, Li Aijun said that the supreme law in 2010 introduces the crime of illegal fundraising in a clear judicial interpretation, we can not return to attract investors with promises. In fact, the financial sector of natural hazards, commitment to interest of the preservation of capital per se contrary to law objective. CRBC more explicit requirements, commercial banks who sell financial products must be carried out when the warning of risk.
However, "e rent treasure" caught some people do not know much knowledge of financial weakness, with false promises weave a 'trap '. To expedite the pace of expansion, Yu Cheng Group has also set up around a large number of subsidiaries and affiliates, directly facing the population "personal marketing." In addition to its push staff recommended products "e rent treasure", even "enthusiastic" to provide open online banking services, the registration and the platform for other services for them. It is in this powerful offensive, "e rent treasure" in a year and a half, it has attracted more than 900,000 real investors, customers throughout the country.
The lessons are huge amounts of money illegally occupied Yu Cheng Group
According to the police investigation, "based Cheng Yu" in addition to a portion of the funds of draw for the service of the debt, but a considerable portion is used for personal extravagance, maintain of enormous costs of running the business, bad debt investment and hype.
According to several suspects confessed, Ding Ning and several closely related group of women executives, privacy very extravagant, spendthrift withdraw funds. Police first identified the value of others Dinning cash donations, real estate, luxury vehicles, products amounted to more than 10 billion yuan. Zhang Min one person, besides his gifts worth 130 million of Singapore villa dinning, worth 12 million pink diamond ring, cars of luxury watches and other gifts, has also "reward" its 550 million Yuan.
"Yu Cheng-based" a big expense, but also high staff salaries. The brother of Ding Ding Ning in Austin, for example, he had a monthly salary of 18,000 yuan, but later transferred to Beijing, the monthly salary will increase to EUR 100 million. According to Zhang Min account, all of the group which holds one million annual salary of executives up to 80 people, only in November 2015, needs Yu Cheng Group distributed to staff salaries have 800 million Yuan.
Many executives of the company said, in order to give the public leave 'deep pockets' printing, Dinning Secretary of dozens General requirements of office worn clothing and jewelry luxury brand "showcase of the company's image", even once took a luxury department store to buy all voids.
"Basic Cheng-Yu", from 2014, a lot to spend a billion dollars advertising a "viral marketing", Zhang Min also wrapped in the "banking Internet first president of beauty" as a spokesman for the company in various public activities.
The rise of the enterprise in expenditures, the return of the increasing pressure on. Yong Lei said, "e rent treasure" on the line as long a day without a new project, Dinning will immediately recalls.
In fact, "herbal Cheng Yu," the leaders of the actual position of the company are well aware. "'E rental in.' the hole will snowball and then focus on the epidemic at a given time, money returned to customer accounts, customers cannot be returned." Said Zhang, it had in September 2015 let estimates of the month data centre, the results show, 'e rent treasure' of the redemption amount will reach 900 million in January 2016, after which the amount of refund of the monthly increase.
This prediction, with the public security organs had very consistent results of the analysis.
Dinning frankly, lease of Yu Cheng Yu Cheng group only, Yu Cheng Yu-metal and new materials, the three companies may have real earnings from operations, but the three companies a total income of less than 800 million, the income was less than one hundred million. normal income "basis of Cheng-Yu", in addition to occupation crazy "e rent treasure" absorption of funds is not enough to cover its huge expenditure.

In this case, use suspect an open national sequestration network platform, but also the external debt service commitments, their behavior was arrested for the crime of illegal deposits from the public.
"" Already constituted for deposits illegal crime from the public, if there are investment or consumption unnecessary expenses for goods can not repay the circumstances, they are financial fraud. ' " In his opinion, ' e rent treasure"suspected cases of investment luxury vehicles and houses, pay wages to employees prodigality, reflects their illegal possession in subjective use investors Fund, which is one of the important causes of the absorption of funds cannot be refunded, is also suspected of major financial fraud one of the reasons. '.
Li Aijun pointed out, is a kind of high financial risk characterized by industry, so people need to know before investing more financial knowledge, to know of any investment behaviors are at your own risk, if financial investors to participate in the activities of the alleged criminal, it will take more risks.

But in addition, the pyramid (process says the "snowball" or the "silver chain") is prohibited in France since 1953 (Article L 122-6 of the Code of consumption 1 ° and 2 ° paragraphs).

This type of installation can take various forms: trading on the Forex market (via an unauthorized FOREX platform), or mail order of goods or services.

The latter recruited bring new funds entering, which are partly donated to the former members to gain and maintain their confidence: this is what is called a pyramid. Media and internet in particular, neighbourhood, "word of mouth": recruitment may be done in various ways.
The device lasts as long as new recruitments are possible. When it collapses, sometimes quite rapidly, members typically lose the entirety of their bet in favour, often the single initiator and his accomplices.
