On April 9, the official media Red Star News and other media released news that according to the latest investigation results of the Hebei Municipal Supervision Bureau, zhang Ting and Lin Ruiyang's brand brand TST court secrets have been determined to have illegal pyramid schemes in business.
In other words, the official said that the company operating entity of Zhang Ting and Lin Ruiyang has been determined by the market supervision department to constitute the illegal act of organizing and planning pyramid schemes, and has confiscated 19.2799 million yuan of illegal gains and fined 1.7 million yuan.
As described by an official Lawyer in Shanghai three months ago, according to the inference of the investigation results, Zhang Ting's company was characterized as an illegal pyramid scheme, which has constituted a criminal offense.
In addition, the Red Star Capital Bureau also learned that the Hubei Baokang County Market Supervision and Administration Bureau determined that from January 1, 2018 to July 2021, the revenue of related companies in the main business involving pyramid schemes totaled 9.171 billion yuan and the profit was 19.2799 million yuan.
That is to say, those who should be punished have already been punished, and those who should be investigated have also been clarified. The TST Court secret company run by Zhang Ting and Lin Ruiyang has an illegal pyramid scheme operation, and its company has imposed a fine of 1.7 million yuan and confiscated more than 19 million yuan of illegal gains.
According to the data, during the more than 2 years of operation of the husband and wife, the operating income of the main body of the company exceeded 910,000 yuan, but its profit was only more than 19 million yuan. It is not clear whether the follow-up investigation has been carried out, and whether there will be a further round of punishment for the couple.
So back to the core part of the problem, what kind of punishment will these people involved face, is it just a fine of 1.7 million yuan to end? Will Zhang Ting and Lin Ruiyang face the risk of going to jail? Will the other people involved go to jail?
At present, there is no official news released, and there is no so-called lawyer to give a more authoritative statement. Judging from the overall data, the company run by Zhang Ting and Lin Ruiyang belongs to the VIE structure, and they have long avoided all risks.
In other words, Shanghai Dalway Company is a typical company with a VIE structure agreement, and Zhang Ting and his wife control the company's operations and finances through layers of agreements. In doing so, the operator not only controls the company, but also prevents the risk of the company at the first level.
Nowadays, it is true that the company has an accident and is not wrong to face punishment, but it is not difficult to find from the above information that their husband and wife belong to the veterans of business and have long avoided various existing risks, so they are unlikely to face the risk of imprisonment, which should be more difficult.
Now that it has been investigated, all violations of the law should be stopped. The market needs a reasonable and fair existence, including those who used to cooperate with the star artists, should take good care of their feathers, do not do things to hurt others for money.
