China's "Sister Flower" creates a billion-dollar scam: 128,000 investors fall into the trap.
In 2014, Qian Zhimin (, known as "Sister Hua" and "Goddess of Wealth," promoted an investment plan in China through "Tianjin Blue Sky Ge Rui" Electronic Technology Company, promising high returns and daily dividends, attracting many middle-aged and elderly individuals to invest.
According to a report by the Chinese media Caixin, the victims are mostly aged between 50 and 75, including businessmen, bank employees, and judicial personnel, with investment amounts ranging from several tens.
