第一财经从多位当事人处获悉，北京群益律师事务所主任王智于2025年12月初失联。据了解，十多年 来，王智以"诉讼保全"业务作为宣传，通过签订家庭法律服务合同和高息借款合同的方式从社会吸收资 金，每月返利，并利用抽奖等手段吸引出借人投入更多本金。 2025年12月初，出借人发现利息并未准时到账，王智突然失联并将出借人拉黑。律所报案，北京市海淀 区经侦支队已经受理并进行出借人登记，律所部分员工已被控制。 多位当事人说，目前已登记的出借人有数百位，涉及总金额正在统计。多位受访者表示，他们从律所报 案人处获悉，尚存的借款合同的本金达9亿元以上，资金打入了王智控制的账户。受害者中相当部分是 北京退休老人，不少人将退休金、拆迁款、股票投资款、子女结婚款放入其中，甚至有人卖房参与。绝 大部分受访者将其当作回报稳定的投资，很少有人取出本金。 在法律人士看来，王智编造出的"诉讼保全"业务模式漏洞百出，本质上依旧是借新还旧、击鼓传花。 偏爱老年人的另类律所 王智和群益的"另类"业务模式至少持续了十多年。 据一位退休阿姨自述，她于2014年在中关村数码大厦附近看到群益的律师在做普法宣传，群益方声称借 鉴国外家庭医生模式，宣传为每个 ...

Core Viewpoint - The "litigation preservation" business model created by Wang Zhi is fundamentally flawed and resembles a Ponzi scheme, where new investments are used to pay returns to earlier investors [1][3]. Group 1: Business Model and Operations - Wang Zhi, the head of Beijing Qunyi Law Firm, has been using the "litigation preservation" business model for over a decade, attracting funds through high-interest loans and family legal service contracts [1][4]. - The firm has reportedly attracted hundreds of investors, with outstanding loan contracts exceeding 900 million yuan, primarily from elderly individuals who viewed it as a stable investment [3][4]. - The law firm operates with a dual structure, where the marketing department engages potential investors while lawyers handle legal cases, primarily focusing on simple legal matters [4]. Group 2: Financial Agreements - The loan contracts stipulate a fixed annual interest rate of 11%, with repayment terms allowing for delays of three to seven working days without interest penalties [5][6]. - The contracts underwent a change in 2019, shifting the borrowing entity from the law firm to Wang Zhi, which was reportedly a requirement from the judicial bureau [6]. - Early contracts had interest rates as high as 16%, which decreased over time, and investors faced significant penalties for early withdrawal [6]. Group 3: Legal and Regulatory Concerns - Legal experts have raised concerns about the legitimacy of the "litigation preservation" claims, suggesting that the model may be entirely fabricated and does not align with standard legal practices [9][10]. - The law firm’s assertion that it could manage court refunds on behalf of clients is legally questionable, as courts typically only recognize the original applicants for refunds [10]. - The insurance policy presented as a safety net for investors is unrelated to the actual legal services provided and does not cover the risks associated with the investment model [10].
