A Xiamen Publishing Employee Sentenced to Prison for Massive Embezzlement Scheme Involving Cryptocurrency
On January 19th, the Tong’an District Procuratorate in Xiamen released details of a significant financial crime case that highlights the intersection of corporate fraud and cryptocurrency investment risks. An employee at a Fujian-based publishing company misappropriated over 1.53 million yuan of company funds through a sophisticated scheme involving QR code substitution, subsequently channeling all embezzled money into cryptocurrency investments—ultimately resulting in complete financial loss.
The Fraud Mechanism: QR Code Substitution Scheme
The perpetrator, Guo, held a position with oversight responsibilities for ordering and settling educational materials. He exploited this access by systematically replacing the company’s legitimate QR codes with codes linked to his personal WeChat account and bank card. Beginning in 2024, this deceptive practice enabled him to divert over 1.53 million yuan from company operations. The fraud remained undetected for an extended period, allowing substantial sums to accumulate.
The Cryptocurrency Gamble: From Millions to Complete Depletion
Rather than securing the misappropriated funds, Guo made the fateful decision to invest virtually all embezzled money into cryptocurrencies, with Bitcoin comprising a significant portion of his holdings. In a cautionary tale of speculative trading, all invested cryptocurrency assets were completely depleted. No portion of the original company funds was recovered or retained.
Legal Accountability and Sentencing
When the case was uncovered in 2025, Guo voluntarily surrendered himself to police authorities in Xiamen. The court found him guilty of embezzlement and imposed a sentence of two years and three months imprisonment, along with financial penalties. The Xiamen case serves as a stark reminder of both the legal consequences of financial crimes and the substantial risks inherent in cryptocurrency trading, particularly when involving illicit funds.
