1. Online loan company is a new type of internet finance company. Your friend's online loan company was arrested, and it is likely to be suspected of illegal fund-raising activities, which mainly constitutes the crime of illegally absorbing public deposits in Article 176 and the crime of fund-raising fraud in Article 192 of the Criminal Law.
Second, the distinction between principal and accessory. According to the criminal law, it is the principal who organizes and leads a criminal group to carry out criminal activities or plays an important role in joint crimes, and the accessory who plays a secondary or auxiliary role. The principal offender is generally the main person in charge of the unit, and the accessory is generally the person who participates in the illegal absorption of funds and receives remuneration and commission from it.
Third, the distinction between accessory and innocence. Not as long as you work in an online loan company, you will become an accessory. Generally speaking, the difference between an accomplice and an innocent person lies in whether he knows or should know that he is engaged in criminal activities. If an employee only provides labor services and receives a fixed salary, but has no collusion with the supervisor, no criminal intention, or is only assigned to participate in a certain link of illegal and criminal activities, he should not be regarded as an accomplice, and even he may be a victim.
Therefore, employees of online lending companies should be judged whether they constitute a crime according to legal provisions and specific cases.
