How long does it take to swindle 700,000 people and return stolen goods?

Legal analysis: 1, defrauding public and private property, the amount of crime reaches the starting point of "extremely huge amount", and the starting point of sentencing is determined within the range of 10 to 12 years in prison. For every 50,000 yuan increase in the amount of crime, one month's imprisonment will be increased. The standard for a particularly large amount of fraud is 500,000 yuan. Based on this, it can be inferred that the defendant's statutory punishment is about 12 years.

2. For returning stolen goods and compensation, considering the nature of the crime, the extent to which the behavior of returning stolen goods and compensation can make up for the damage, the amount and initiative of returning stolen goods and compensation, the benchmark punishment can be reduced by less than 30%. Based on this, it can be calculated that if the defendant actively returns all the stolen money and goods, the legal sentence is about 9 years.

3. It is suggested to entrust a professional criminal defense lawyer to intervene and fully explore other statutory and discretionary mitigating circumstances in order to make a more favorable determination for the defendant.
