CNBC AI News, July 25th – Shanghai authorities recently announced the arrest of an executive from a Shanghai-based internet firm, adding fuel to ongoing concerns about corporate malfeasance in China’s tech sector.
This announcement comes on the heels of another high-profile scandal involving an executive at a short-video platform, who is accused of embezzling a staggering 140 million yuan (approximately $19.4 million USD). The intricate scheme behind the alleged crime is now coming to light.
北京市海淀区人民检察院发布的《反商业腐败检察工作白皮书(2020—2024)》中，披露了这样一起典型案例。
According to a white paper on anti-corruption released by the Haidian District People’s Procuratorate in Beijing, Feng, a high-ranking executive at the unnamed short-video platform, allegedly exploited his position to siphon off incentive funds through a network of shell companies and cryptocurrency transactions.
随着调查的推进，空壳公司矩阵、虚拟货币洗钱、混币技术隐匿等一系列犯罪细节逐渐浮出水面。
The investigation revealed a complex web of shell companies, cryptocurrency laundering tactics, and the use of “coin mixing” techniques, designed to obfuscate the trail of illicit funds.
据了解，该短视频平台在大力扩大商家入驻规模期间，廉政部门通过数据监测敏锐地察觉到服务商奖励存在异常情况。
Sources indicate that the platform’s internal audit department flagged anomalies in service provider incentives during a period of aggressive expansion to onboard new merchants.
奖励对象长期过于稳定，且奖励金额异常巨大，这些异常现象引起了廉政部门的高度警觉。
Consistent beneficiaries and abnormally large payouts raised red flags, prompting a deeper dive into the incentive programs.
随后，廉政部门通过回访验证，最终揭开了内部奖励金贪腐的真相。
Subsequent verification and internal reviews ultimately uncovered the alleged embezzlement scheme.
随着调查的逐步深入，整个犯罪过程被彻底挖掘并公之于众。冯某与供应商唐某、杨某狼狈为奸，结成贪腐同盟。
The investigation revealed that Feng allegedly colluded with suppliers, identified as Tang and Yang, to form a corrupt alliance.
他们利用政策漏洞和数据泄露等手段，伪造相关材料骗取补贴。在短短一年时间里，1.4亿元资金通过杨某控制的多家空壳公司进行流转。
They allegedly exploited policy loopholes and data leaks, fabricating documentation to fraudulently obtain subsidies. Over a single year, approximately 140 million yuan was funneled through multiple shell companies controlled by Yang.
当赃款流入空壳公司账户后，冯某便指挥唐某等人登录八个境外虚拟货币交易平台，将资金分批兑换成虚拟货币，妄图以此掩盖资金流向，逃避法律制裁。
After the funds were deposited into the shell company accounts, Feng allegedly instructed Tang and others to use eight offshore cryptocurrency exchanges to convert the funds into digital assets, attempting to conceal the money trail and evade prosecution.
面对如此复杂的犯罪手段，检察官依托电子数据审查室，构建了“三流合一”（信息流、数据流、资金流）的严密证据体系。
Faced with intricate financial maneuvers, prosecutors leveraged digital forensic tools to establish a comprehensive evidentiary chain, connecting information flow, data flow, and capital flow.
通过各流之间的相互印证，成功还原了1.4亿元资金从被侵吞、转移、清洗到分赃的全过程。在确凿的证据面前，冯某团伙不得不交出90余枚比特币。
By cross-referencing these flows, investigators successfully reconstructed the entire process, from embezzlement to transfer, laundering, and distribution of the 140 million yuan. Confronted with irrefutable evidence, Feng’s group surrendered over 90 Bitcoins.
最终，法律给出了公正的裁决。冯某等七人因职务侵占罪被法院判处有期徒刑三年至十四年六个月不等，同时还均被处以罚金，目前判决已正式生效。
Ultimately, justice was served. Feng and seven accomplices were convicted of embezzlement and sentenced to prison terms ranging from three to fourteen and a half years, along with substantial fines. The verdicts are now in effect.
截至目前，官方尚未明确披露涉事短视频平台的具体信息。不过，有行业人士向媒体透露，该平台疑似为快手科技。
While the unnamed platform has not been officially identified, industry sources suggest it may be Kuaishou.
但截至发稿时，快手官方尚未对此作出回应。
As of press time, Kuaishou has not officially responded to requests for comment.
