Reported by Yu Ming-huang, an investment fraud ring has been uncovered in Taipei and New Taipei City, utilizing hotels as bases to detain individuals and acquire their accounts, which were then handed over to other fraud groups for profit. The suspects, including main culprit Jiang and financier Wu, were recently arrested and charged with offenses like fraud, money laundering, unlawful detention, and organization. Victims were lured into investing by a fake financial expert named 'Xie Jinhe' on a website, resulting in losses totaling over 140 million NT dollars. The scam involved recruiting job seekers, controlling them in hotels, and using their accounts for money laundering, making them unwitting accomplices in the crime.
