FTNN News reported that a fraud group impersonated the chairman of Financial News Network, Xie Jinhe, to set up an investment group to swindle money, deceiving numerous victims including a real estate tycoon surnamed Li who knew the real Xie Jinhe, resulting in a loss of up to 1.5 billion. The tycoon befriended Xie on LINE during a past meeting and was later tricked into investing in the Hainan International APP, eventually realizing the scam and reporting it to the authorities. Two suspects, a driver surnamed Jin and a couple providing fake bank accounts, were arrested by the Taipei City Police and are currently being investigated in court.
