Financial Fraud Victim Recounts Injustices

2012-07-01

Liu Fanbi (刘凡必), a victim of financial fraud, was sentenced to five years on a trumped-up charge after he offended a procuratorate officer while trying to retrieve his losses that the authorities had confiscated from the criminals. Liu began petitioning to authorities at different government levels after his release. In March 2010, the local procuratorate office issued a written promise that it would return the money to Liu within one month. It has not done so to date. In this account (Chinese only), Liu equates his fate to that of an ant.
