Search for ‘US$8m scam’ boss

POLICE are searching for Gu Zhuoheng, who is suspected of involvement in cheating 53.8 million yuan (US$8 million) from hundreds of investors nationwide in a peer-to-peer (P2P) lending scam, the local public security authority said yesterday.

Prosecutors issued a warrant on May 27, 2015, for the arrest of Gu, who is currently at large for the illegal pooling of public deposits, announced the Luohu branch of Shenzhen Municipal Public Security Bureau.

On December 26, 2014, investors reported to police that Shenzhen Meidai E-commerce had engaged in illegal fundraising through its online P2P platform, www.cnmeidai.com.

According to the subsequent police investigation, Gu set up Shenzhen Meidai E-commerce with Hao Jianguo and Wang Xuehua in July 2012.

The company illegally raised funds by promising high annual interest rates of up to 20 percent, on nonexistent projects to attract investors

Shenzhen police arrested the company’s general manager and shareholder Hao Jianguo, Hao’s assistant Wang Xuehua, former corporate representative Shen Wei, and chief financial officer Wang Jing.

All four claimed Gu was the boss of the company and he decided the operational systems and flow of assets.
