On June, 2065438 1 day, the former chairman of Jiangxi Wonderful Life Investment Development Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Wonderful Life Company") was arrested on suspicion of organizing and leading pyramid schemes. 2012165438+129 October, the People's Procuratorate of Nanchang City, Jiangxi Province initiated a public prosecution.
Consumption rebate is more than 65 million, and promotion rebate is nearly 65.438+0.39 billion. Promotion rebate accounts for 95.48% of the total rebate.

Luring participants to continue to develop others to participate, vigorously developing pyramid schemes at all levels nationwide, defrauding huge deposits, and seriously disrupting economic and social order have violated the provisions of Article 224 of the Criminal Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), and criminal responsibility should be investigated for organizing and leading pyramid schemes. 20121218 was heard by Nanchang Intermediate People's Court of Jiangxi Province.
2012 1 February18 ~1February 21,for trial use.
Chen Youxi, chairman of Jingheng Law Group, said that the main focus of this case is whether the BMC model is legal.
At the trial site, more than a dozen lawyers, including Chen Youxi, attended as defense lawyers of Tang Qingnan and others.
The defense lawyers present believe that Pacific Net can provide real goods and services to consumers and channel providers, instead of deceiving consumers and channel providers in the name of promoting goods and services. This model has the basis for consumers to get real and really needed goods and services.
Chen Youxi pointed out that BMC model is graded according to the size of consumption, not according to the head. In addition to collecting deposits, the BMC model of the company has also developed a form of rebate based on consumption points. A "rebate form of official website Integrity Consumption Points for Pacific Direct Purchase" shows that the company divides merchants into 15 grades according to their consumption PV points, and makes rebates according to different grades.
According to the information of Nanchang Procuratorate, as of April 9, 20 12, Jiangxi Wonderful Life Company reported that it should distribute rebates of 654.38+04.5 billion yuan, including more than 65 million consumer rebates and nearly 654.38+03.9 billion promotion rebates.
Promotion rebate accounts for 95.48% of the total rebate. This means that in fact, the rebate income obtained by channel providers through consumption accounts for a small proportion, but they can get a lot of rebate income through marketing.
The public prosecution agency believes that Tang Qingnan mainly lures channel dealers to continue to develop other personnel to participate by promoting rebates.
In addition, according to the indictment, as early as July 2007, Tang Qingnan, then a member of New Century Company in the United States, became the general agent of New Century in Jiangxi, and registered with Tongcheng Fang Ying and others to establish Jiangxi Wonderful Life Industrial Co., Ltd. with a registered capital of 2 million. At the end of the same year, American "New Century" company was investigated by Futian Branch of Shenzhen Administration for Industry and Commerce for pyramid selling, and then withdrew from the Chinese mainland market.
According to Tang Qingnan's explanation, the United States has never been investigated for pyramid schemes in Chinese mainland. Later, it withdrew from China because its development model was not suitable for the domestic market, and it withdrew automatically. Moreover, it had already obtained the general agency right of the company in Jiangxi before its establishment. Wonderful company has suffered huge losses for many years, and the amount of losses has increased year by year;
The shopping and payment business of "Pacific Direct Purchase official website" is actually a loss, and the main source of the company's operating funds is the deposit paid by the channel providers;
The margin return and "promotion rebate" of channel dealers at all levels come from the margin of channel dealers at lower levels.
Tang Qingnan and others support the company's operation by continuously developing channels and collecting deposits. At present, most of the main suspects in this case have been arrested.
Relevant departments are organizing efforts to clean up the funds such as supplier loans of wonderful companies and "cooling-off period" deposits of channel providers.
Law enforcement agencies adhere to the principle of "cracking down on the very few and saving the majority through education".
Severely crack down on Tang Qingnan and other key personnel suspected of committing crimes;
Other suspected criminals who can clearly understand the nature of their actions and actively cooperate with the investigation by law enforcement agencies will be given a lighter, mitigated or exempted criminal punishment as appropriate according to law.
