Core Viewpoint - The emergence of "cloud farming" and "cloud breeding" models has attracted both investors and fraudsters, leading to significant financial scams in the agricultural sector [1][12]. Group 1: Cloud Farming and Investment Model - The concept of "cloud farming" allows investors to adopt livestock or crops, promising returns that seem guaranteed, such as a monthly rebate of 2% to 5% [8][12]. - In this case, a company claimed to operate a pig breeding farm in Hunan, organizing free trips for potential investors to visit the farm and witness the operations firsthand [6][9]. Group 2: Fraudulent Activities - The company involved did not actually engage in pig farming; instead, it was a well-orchestrated scam that misled investors into believing they were participating in a legitimate business [12][18]. - The scheme involved creating multiple companies to gain trust, organizing farm visits, and promising high returns, ultimately leading to the disappearance of the company and its funds [22][23]. Group 3: Victim Impact - Over 30 individuals in Guizhou were defrauded, with total losses exceeding 600,000 yuan, primarily affecting middle-aged and elderly investors who were less likely to report their losses [22][20]. - Victims were often left in a vulnerable position, feeling ashamed to disclose their losses to family members, which exacerbated their financial difficulties [20].
