Do you believe it? Someone even marked an ordinary herring as a "special fish", and as long as you catch this fish, you can get a grand prize ranging from 1,000 yuan to 670,000 yuan! It's a fantasy
But in Suzhou, Jiangsu, this unbelievable thing really happened. Ever heard of "fishing enforcement"? But you must not have expected that what will be presented to you here today is a shocking drama of fishing and gambling!
It is reported that three suspects, Xia and others, first put more than 8,000 herring fish after contracting a fish pond. But they were not satisfied with ordinary fishing entertainment, but made special marks for some of the fish.
Once these marker fish are caught, the owner can get a "grand prize" of up to 670,000 yuan!
And that's not all, in order to participate in this "fishing tournament", anglers must also buy a ticket of 2,600 yuan, each ticket can fish for 5 hours. It's simply demonized!
As you can imagine, once someone catches those marker fish, it is undoubtedly equivalent to hitting the jackpot. This undoubtedly sparked a frenzy of many anglers, and this is exactly what the trio intended.
In just 1 month, they reaped an astonishing income of 2.08 million yuan from ticket sales!
Incredibly, despite the fact that these three people have disguised this gambling behavior so cleverly, they cannot escape the punishment of the law after all. Soon, their illegal actions were discovered and seized by the police, and subsequently prosecuted in accordance with the law.
After careful trial, the court finally sentenced the three to fixed-term imprisonment ranging from 5 years and 2 months to 5 years and 4 months, and imposed a fine of 150,000 yuan. This is enough to show that their behavior has constituted a typical "crime of opening a casino".
In addition, those "gamblers" who participated in fishing were also subject to administrative punishment.
It can be said that what these three people have done has completely broken through the bottom line of morality and law. Not only do they use ordinary fishing activities to gamble illegally, but they also deliberately create "jackpots" to attract more people to participate in them and make huge profits.
This kind of behavior is undoubtedly deceiving and exploiting ordinary people, and can be described as a "black sheep"
What is embarrassing is that even in the otherwise harmless entertainment activity of "fishing", it is difficult to escape the clutches of opportunists. Faced with the temptation of profits, they did not hesitate to break the law and discipline and wantonly hurt others. Ah ·
This can't help but make people feel that the power of greed is so powerful that it is enough to blind the bottom line of human nature. We must remain highly vigilant and always be wary of opportunists who commit illegal acts under the banner of "legality".
