Haotian Zhang and Zetian Zhang, the last of 25 defendants in a $65 million fraud scheme that preyed on thousands of elderly victims in San Diego and beyond, pleaded guilty on Oct 23. Haotian Zhang, a 🇨🇳 national, was remanded into custody following his guilty plea. The 25 defendants, mostly 🇨🇳 nationals, were arrested in Aug 2025 after a nationwide, weeklong takedown in California, New York, Texas and Michigan. 3 charged defendants remain fugitives. Over the past few months, 8 other defendants charged as part of the investigation — Guangli Lin, Cheng Li, Weining Su, aka “Ning Ma,” Hongsen Cao, Xinyu Shao, Renchao Chen, Dexiao Lin, Zhiyi Zhang — have also pleaded guilty for their roles in the same fraud and money laundering scheme, and 2 defendants — Huajian Chen and Jianhao Gao — recently pleaded guilty to operating an unlicensed money transmission business. Videos by YouTubers from Scammer Payback and Trilogy Media helped law enforcement identify multiple defendants and uncover the structure of the fraud conspiracy (justice.gov/usao-sdca/pr/you…). Defendants Zhiyi Zhang and Huajian Chen admitted to being in YouTube videos in which they were confronted about their involvement in the charged criminal activity. Operating since at least 2019 and rooted in Southern California, the criminal network — primarily composed of 🇨🇳 nationals, many in the US illegally — worked closely with India-based scam call centers. Fraudsters who made the calls posed as technical support agents, government officials, or bank employees. The fraud victims would be instructed to withdraw bulk cash, to conceal the cash in packages, and to send cash-laden packages via express mail carriers to names — fictitious with fake IDs — and addresses provided by the conspirators. The recipient addresses were for short-term rental locations.  Defendants admitted that to facilitate receipt of victim packages, members of the conspiracy booked short-term rentals in a hub-and-spoke pattern: a hub would be booked for ~1 week; spoke locations would be booked nearby for shorter stays.  After some time, members of the conspiracy would relocate to a new location and continue the pattern. In Aug 2025, federal agents coordinated a sweeping nationwide takedown of the investigation, including arrests in Southern California, Texas, Michigan and New York.  The investigation started in Dec 2020 after an elderly victim contacted an express mail carrier after being defrauded into sending bulk cash in the mail. That led to the discovery of 11 total packages, containing ~$135,000 in cash.  Each of the packages was addressed to a fake name and a short-term rental in the San Diego area. The investigation also led to the discovery of several YouTube videos posted in 2020 and 2021 that helped identify other members of the conspiracy. YouTuber Pierogi from “Scammer Payback” — known for exposing scammers — documented his interaction with the India-based scam call centers.  In a series of videos, Pierogi from Scammer Payback teamed up with two other YouTubers from “Trilogy Media” to publish videos on their respective YouTube channels. In coordinated sting operations, Scammer Payback and Trilogy Media baited fraudsters, confronted them on camera, and published those videos to their respective YouTube channels. Videos posted in 2020 and 2021 helped law enforcement identify Zhiyi Zhang, Dudu Chen and Huajian Chen. The videos also helped shed light on how the conspiracy operated and led to the identification of high-level members of the organization. After defrauding victims, members of the conspiracy also laundered the proceeds of the fraud scheme.  Specifically, members of the conspiracy set up the operation to conceal the fact that the cash-laden packages were obtained through fraud. Members of the conspiracy also used the proceeds of the fraud scheme to pay other members of the conspiracy and to compensate them for travel expenses used to further the fraud scheme.  justice.gov/usao-sdca/pr/fin…

Oct 21: Shu Jun Zhen was sentenced in the Western District of North Carolina to 9 years in prison and ordered to forfeit nearly $23 million for her role in a Chinese money laundering organization (CMLO) that laundered over $92 million in illicit funds, including proceeds from the importation and distribution of illegal drugs into the US, primarily through Mexico. This is the second defendant from this CMLO to receive a significant sentence. Zhen was a prolific courier for the CMLO. She collected drug trafficking proceeds from US-based drug traffickers and deposited the money, using both real and fake identities, into shell company bank accounts registered by other members of the CMLO. As a courier, Zhen personally picked up and deposited approximately $23 million of illicit bulk cash. In July 2025, Zhen pleaded guilty to one count of money laundering conspiracy, one count of money laundering to conceal the nature, location, source, ownership, and control of the illicit proceeds, and one count of engaging in a monetary transaction involving criminally derived property greater than $10,000. Zhen admitted that she knew the laundered funds included drug trafficking proceeds. justice.gov/opa/pr/prolific-…

“中国叙事诈骗无孔不入，AI宣扬机器人拉花多厉害，结果是偷台湾拉花老师影片” 10月15日，中国媒体甘谷融媒发布一段“咖啡机器人上线”的视频，被台湾网友怒斥“中国叙事诈骗无孔不入，AI宣扬机器人拉花多厉害，结果是偷台湾拉花老师影片。” 甘谷融媒的画面中，一台机器人制作咖啡拉花，配文“熟练往杯中倒奶做咖啡拉花，机器人手就是稳”，以此展示机器人的精细操作能力。 然而，有台湾网友发现，这段视频疑似盗用了台湾咖啡拉花老师的原始作品，再利用AI技术将咖啡师变造成机器人。 对比两段视频，咖啡杯的外形、拉花缸的造型、咖啡液的颜色与流动形态，以及倒奶时的角度、动作轨迹和拉花过程均高度吻合。 更明显的疑点在于，机器人胸前覆盖着的不锈钢金属没有反射出咖啡杯与拉花缸应有的倒影。 原视频中的台湾咖啡拉花师本人也已出面维权，指控相关视频未经授权盗用自己的作品，并通过AI技术进行变造。 甘谷融媒的评论区也有网友质疑视频由AI生成。
