Liu Yideng, born Liu Hai, grew up poor. After graduating from elementary school, he entered the workforce, vowing to make something of himself. Instead, he suffered hardship and was swindled countless times. After finally managing to get married, he was cheated on, and his wife ran off. He joined a direct-selling organization but had nothing to show for three years, scavenging discarded vegetable leaves at the market to survive. By a twist of fate, he entered a pyramid scheme. Through his own hard work and the help of a girlfriend who loved him, he rose from the very bottom to become the organization’s top boss. He made 10.4 million yuan in the scheme and got out, then went on to launch counterfeit currency and worthless crypto ventures, all kinds of tokens and points schemes, and Ponzi-style investment scams. His fortunes soared and crashed: at times he was worth over a hundred million, and at others he was penniless. In the end, he mastered the ultimate art of fleecing investors, successfully transforming from a victim into a ruthless predator. He ultimately amassed a fortune of tens of billions and sought to reinvent himself in the training industry, only to exploit people all over again through courses on healing. The projects he recommended and the ventures he launched ruined countless lives and families, leaving people divorced, families shattered, and homes destroyed.
