Following the case of kidnapping and extorting a huge sum of 30 million yuan in Tether in November last year, the same type of case happened again in Sham Shui Po.
A 57-year-old man paid 600,000 yuan to an IT company owner to invest in Tether, but he did not get any money back after a few months.
He borrowed words to invite the victim to the company to talk business. Several villains showed up to imprison and beat the victim, robbing him of his belongings, ATM cards and passwords, totaling about 20,000 yuan, and then forcing him to call his family to raise 600,000 yuan to repay.
In order to evade the police, the gangsters drove the victim to the abandoned tenement flats in Tai Kok Tsui and Sham Shui Po, and hit the victim on the head with debris.
After receiving a report from the victim's relatives and friends, the police immediately arrested three men, including two masterminds and a backbone, and rescued the man who had been imprisoned for more than 50 hours and was covered in scars.

It is understood that the male victim is a 53-year-old IT company owner surnamed Guo. He is currently unmarried and lives with his younger brother.
The two masterminds arrested are a 57-year-old man surnamed Liang and a 40-year-old unemployed man surnamed Zhuang.
Liang Nan runs a health food company and has an office of about 200 square feet in an industrial building in Lai Chi Kok. He does not have a triad background, but he has contacts with people in the rivers and lakes, and has a friendly relationship with Zhuang Nan, who has a "14K" background in the triad.
According to the source, the victim had known Liang Nan for several years, and promoted him to him a few months ago, saying that he had a partner in China and had a way to buy and sell Tether, but it would take time to make a profit.
Liang Nan thought it was profitable, so he gave 600,000 yuan, but after a few months, he still did not recover the capital, nor did he make any profit, and the 600,000 yuan disappeared. So he secretly contacted Zhuang Nan, and asked him to call for help in recovering the money.
He paid thousands of yuan for "water feet" first, and then paid 200,000 yuan after the event was completed.

On Monday (24th) night, Liang Nan asked the victim to meet at the Lai Chi Kok office. He borrowed the words to say that a friend wanted to invest. The victim was not afraid of cheating. He punched and kicked, and even snatched his belongings, including mobile phones, laptops, tablets, 3 bank ATM cards, etc., and forced him to hand over the ATM card passwords. The victim lost a total of about 20,000 yuan.
Still not satisfied, the gangster asked the victim to call his younger brother for a ransom of 600,000 yuan, but the younger brother thought it was a fraudulent call, so he did not pay the money, but instead called the police for help.
The gangsters did not get the ransom money, but it is estimated that the victim must have a lot of money to open a company and trade virtual currency, so he did not release the people.
In order to evade police investigation, he drove the victim to an abandoned unit in a tenement building, No. 24-30, Fuk Chak Street, Tai Kok Tsui, and continued to abuse him.
Later, the victim was transferred to an abandoned tenement house at No. 308 Tung Chau Street, Sham Shui Po, during which the victim was hit on the head with debris, causing his head to bleed.
Because the victim was imprisoned, he never showed up or went to work. The company colleagues were worried that something happened to him and called the police for help.
The police received reports one after another, and they considered the case to be serious and handed it over to the Kowloon West Regional Crime Squad to take over the investigation.
Officers traced the whereabouts of the victim on the morning of Wednesday (26th), and locked the first place of detention. They dispatched officers to the industrial building unit in Lai Chi Kok to investigate and arrest Liang Nan.
Some people reported paying someone to be imprisoned, but they never hurt anyone.
After the police continued their investigation, they arrested Zhuang Nan in Sau Mau Ping District.

The victim was imprisoned for more than 50 hours and was beaten until it "exploded"
The police later found the location of the victim's Tibetan ginseng, and rushed to the abandoned house in Sham Shui Po on Wednesday (26th) night to rescue the wounded victim.
The victim had been imprisoned for more than 50 hours at that time, with multiple bruises on his body, and was beaten to the point of "exploding the tank". He was weak and unable to escape on his own. Fortunately, he was still awake and was taken to Guanghua Hospital for treatment by ambulance.
Last night (27th), the police again arrested a 38-year-old unemployed man in Sham Shui Po. He is a key member of the case. It is reported that he has a background in the triad "water house" and was involved in attacking the victim.
The case is classified as illegal imprisonment and robbery, and the police are looking for the three men who are at large.
The three arrested men have each been charged with one count of false imprisonment and one count of robbery. The case will appear in the Eastern Magistrates' Courts tomorrow (29th).
At 4:45 pm today (28th), the police escorted a suspect to the scene in Sham Shui Po to restructure the case.
