Louis Cha, better known by his pen name, Jin Yong, once wrote a classic section that won universal praise in his martial arts novels, “The Smiling, Proud Wanderer”: After untold hardships, Yue Buqun finally got “Sunflower Manual”. Filled with excitement and wishing to become a master of martial arts, he opened the martial arts cheats, only to find two lines on the flyleaf, “To practice this magic, please first practice self-castration”. A series of his inner activities before practicing this magic was not detailed in the novel. Still, even after his self-castration, Yue Buqun failed to practice this magic and ended up a traitor, who was deemed to be possessed by the Devil. It is said that art comes from life and is higher than life. When Mr. Jin wrote his novels, he never thought that a few years later, a ruffian swindler should lead a contemporary farce, “To practice this magic, please first practice self-castration”, which is a century scam launched by Guo Wengui in the ant bandit recently – “Xicoin”.
“Three-year-long blockade only in and not out.” Recently, under the manipulation of Guo Wengui, the ruffian swindler, “Xicoin” demonstrates breathtaking growth. Even in complete violation of the law of the world’s currency, and facing the depression of rows of digital currencies, it still registers brilliant performance, whose popularity, however, can attribute to its role, a kind of game coin and air coin without any legitimate license completely created by Guo Wengui out of thin air to accumulate wealth. Its fluctuations are his nonsense. The success or failure of “Xicoin” is all due to the very mouth of Guo Wengui. In such false prosperity, batches of silly ants are naturally stimulated by the dazzling results of the air currency, cannot wait to cash.
However, Guo Wengui, the refrain swindler, is born to fraud. Since his own money is not enough to spend, he absolutely refuses to allow the ants to withdraw the money they have invested in before. Once the withdrawal was made possible, it would cost him even more. Nevertheless, when acting under Guo Wengui’s commitment letter, the ants who are to launch a withdrawal in a hurry only notice the first magic weapon sent out by Guo Wengui – to practice withdrawal, please first invite new users! “Xicion” is on a spiraling upward trend, and the swindler receives money voraciously so that the ants naturally think themselves will make skyscrapers-full of money. Nonetheless, to truly withdraw the money invested, the ants must do what the swindler says, namely persuading more people to purchase air coins. Only when the buyers has accumulated to a certain amount can the ants apply for withdrawal, which, even a lesser man can see that this is a thriving pyramid scheme in China for decades of years. If you want to make money, you have to persuade more people, which is also why pyramid schemes are developing wantonly. Unfortunately, after years of hard work, those who join pyramid scheme organizations, only end up with broken families and even mountainous debts. Simple and clear as the means of a pyramid scheme are, there are still silly moths dart into the so-called urine explosion revolution and anti-communism campaigns, willing to become Guo Wengui’s cash machine. It is crazy to jump into a trap when you already know it is a trap. What is the difference between these ants and Yue Buqun in “The Smiling, Proud Wanderer” who followed “To practice this magic, please first practice self-castration”?
More than that, to further appease the growing urgency of withdrawal put forward by the silly ants, Guo also launches a “three-year-long blockade agreement” – the invested money cannot be moved in three years. For those who want to withdraw the money, they must obey the command of the so-called Xi alliance. Generally speaking; however, the air coins in the blockade period of three years have all been frozen, but then the refrain swindler puts forwards another explanation. Because ccp hires some people to crush the market, large amounts of money are withdrawn so that “Xicion” is unable to withdraw. While desperately encouraging the silly ants to purchase air coins offline, he claims that the silly ants who have bought the coins must face the three-year-long blockade, and those who practice withdraw will be categorized under the pseudo-class. Hence, it is obvious that Guo Wengui is free to burn down houses; the ants are forbidden even to light lamps. Since Guo Wengui sets all the rules, he has the last word about whether the money can be withdrawn or not! What is the difference between such behavior and banditry?
In“The Smiling, Proud Wanderer”, even though Yue Buqun knew that self-castration would damage his health, he still indulged himself in the martial arts cheats, eventually ending up with homelessness and betrayal. In reality, the silly ants have witnessed their comrades fall into Guo Wengui “chicken” series of scams one after another. However, they still follow the instruction: “To practice withdrawal, please first invite new users!” They are crazy to coax their relatives and friends and then together fall into Guo Wengui’s trap. In this way, when the scam comes to light eventually, the silly ants may also swallow their pains like Yue Buqun who destroyed himself to practice magic.
