According to the Procuratorate Daily, Lin and three others secretly took photos of the victim's digital wallet private key and revoked the transaction under the guise of trading virtual currency, stealing virtual currency three times and causing the victim to lose 660000 yuan. The first instance court sentenced the three individuals to imprisonment ranging from five years, six months to eight years for "other serious circumstances". After the prosecution protested, the Wuhan Intermediate People's Court found in the second instance that the amount of theft was particularly huge, and sentenced the main offender Lin to ten years and six months in prison, and the accomplices Zeng and Dai to eight years each, and imposed a fine.
