  Investigations showed that since May 2009, the defendant Wen Yu was recruited by others to join "British TVI Travel Express", then the defendant together with Yang Rui, Zheng Zhi, recruited in Fengqiu, Changyuan, and other places with the slogan "free five-star hotel seven days six nights, free to travel abroad", asked participants to pay 8 shares at 1897 yuan per share, to lure participants to sponsor other people to join, complete the board, earn $500. If he advanced to express board, and also complete the board, he can earn $10000 US Dollars. The reward is directly dependent on amount of people recruited, and thus a financial fraud.
