Fugitive Financier Tried in Shanghai Over $14 Billion Ponzi Scheme (Caixin)
|
|
|
More than a month after his extradition to China, Lin Qiang — fugitive financier and key figure behind the collapsed investment firm Shanghai HHSC Capital Management Co. Ltd. — stood trial in Shanghai, accused of orchestrating a sweeping fundraising scam that left a 30 billion yuan ($4.2 billion) financial black hole.
The two-day trial, held from Nov. 19 to Nov. 20 at the Shanghai No. 2 Intermediate People's Court, saw prosecutors bring charges against Lin, seven associates, and three affiliated companies for fundraising fraud, illegal deposit-taking, and money laundering.
According to the prosecution, between January 2019 and August 2023, Lin and his co-defendants illicitly raised over 100 billion yuan from investors across China. The case underscores persistent risks in the country's loosely regulated wealth management sector, where firms have exploited loopholes and manipulated regulatory filings to build large-scale Ponzi schemes.

McAfee Labs Research Reveals the Most Impersonated Brands of Holiday Season 2025 and How Shoppers Can Spot the Fakes (Business Wire)
|
|
|
New insights reveal how scammers copy trusted brands during peak shopping season and what every shopper can do to stay one step ahead.
Key Findings
Tech tops the Cybergrinch list: Scammers are most frequently impersonating major tech brands, especially those tied to popular devices and gaming platforms, like Apple, Nintendo, Samsung, Disney, and Steam. Apple is the number one brand cybercriminals pretend to be, often creating convincing fake websites that look like real Apple pages.
Luxury brands are a prime target: Counterfeit storefronts for handbags, sneakers, and limited-edition drops — for example, Coach, Dior, Gucci, Rolex, and Ralph Lauren — surged 45%, with cybercriminals mimicking brand visuals and holiday promo language.
Shopping scams are rising before the season even starts: 91% of Americans say they're seeing ads from unfamiliar retailers, exposing them to more scam URLs and lookalike sites. That risk is already visible: scam-related URLs climbed about 10% from early October to early Nov...

Deals between media conglomerates and tech companies serve both sets of interests, while leaving artists by the waysideThe world's biggest music company is now in the AI business. Last year, Universal Music Group (UMG), alongside labels including Warner Records and Sony Music Entertainment sued two AI music startups for allegedly using their recordings to train text-to-music models without permission.But last month, UMG announced a deal with one of the defendants, Udio, to create an AI music platform. Their joint press release offered assurances that the label will commit to “do what's right by [UMG's] artists”. However, one advocacy group, the Music Artists Coalition, responded with the statement: “We've seen this before – everyone talks about 'partnership', but artists end up on the sidelines with scraps.”Alexander Avila is a video essayist, writer and researcher Continue reading......
