狗凶酒酸，主政者不可以不兢慎！When the dog is fierce and the wine turns sour, those in charge must be especially careful and vigilant!

—— 致杜小刚书记 To Secretary Du Xiaogang

尊敬的无锡市委杜小刚书记：
Dear Secretary Du Xiaogang of the Wuxi Municipal Committee

我们是北京汉鼎联合律师事务所张庆方律师，北京市民林开女士。今天，我们因为你主政下的无锡公安局在办理与无锡八杆子打不着的所谓的Hubdex组织、领导传销活动罪案件过程中，肆无忌惮地强行管辖、异地趋利执法，疯狂地报复陷害被剥夺了数亿元投资权益的广大投资人上访，赤裸裸地利用刑事强制措施恐吓报复当事人家属，不得已给你写这封信，希望你能主持公道，追究无锡公安局相关违法乱纪者的责任，还作为Hubdex构建基础的CoinXP公链创办者梁亮等人以清白！

We are Attorney Zhang Qingfang from Beijing Handing United Law Firm and Ms. Lin Kai, a citizen of Beijing. Today, we are writing to you due to the actions of the Wuxi Public Security Bureau under your leadership, which has jurisdiction over the so-called Hubdex organization and the leading pyramid selling crime case. The case seems unrelated to Wuxi. During the handling of the case, they forcibly exercised jurisdiction, engaged in profit-driven law enforcement in different places, and retaliated against the petitioners, who had been deprived of their investment rights worth hundreds of millions of yuan, in a vindictive and blatant manner. They blatantly used criminal coercive measures to intimidate and retaliate against the family members of the parties involved.

We had no choice but to write this letter to you, hoping that you can uphold justice, investigate the responsibilities of the related illegal and disorderly actions of the Wuxi Public Security Bureau, and clear the name of Liang Liang and other founders of the CoinXP public chain, which serves as the foundation for Hubdex!

CoinXP公链项目，由清华北大等名校归国创业人才梁亮、王阳、陈华在新加坡设立基金会，引进国内外机构风险投资，用前沿的区块链技术打造的数字资产交易底层基础设施，具有自主创新性，在区块链技术行业内获得知名机构、知名项目方、媒体等广泛合作和认可。参与该项目的主要人员分布在成都、北京等地，全球上万名投资者，均与无锡没有半点瓜葛。无锡公安以住在锡山区某小区地下车库的一个河南驻马店人王锋涛投资Hub币九万元为由，在无锡没人报案，没人因Hubdex应用项目有一毛钱损失的情况下，于2021年初强行管辖，异地抓捕了CoinXP梁亮公链技术方和Hubdex社区运营方等六人，扣押了全国万名用户价值两亿多元的托管在CoinXP公链上的数字资产。

The CoinXP public chain project was founded by entrepreneurial talents like Liang Liang, Wang Yang, and Chen Hua, who returned to China after studying in prestigious universities such as Tsinghua and Peking University. They established a foundation in Singapore and introduced venture investments from domestic and foreign institutions to build a digital asset trading infrastructure using cutting-edge blockchain technology. This project is innovative and has received extensive cooperation and recognition from well-known institutions, project parties, and media in the blockchain technology industry. The main participants in this project are located in places like Chengdu and Beijing, and there are tens of thousands of investors worldwide, all of whom have no connection with Wuxi.

Wuxi Public Security, under the pretext that a resident from Zhumadian, Henan, Wang Fengtao, who lives in an underground garage of a residential community in Xishan District, invested ninety thousand yuan in Hub coin, forcefully exercised jurisdiction and arrested six people, including the technical team of CoinXP public chain Liang Liang and the operational team of the Hubdex community from different locations, in early 2021. This happened even though no one in Wuxi filed a complaint, and no one suffered any losses due to the Hubdex project. They also confiscated digital assets worth more than two hundred million yuan entrusted on the CoinXP public chain by ten thousand users nationwide.

本案进入锡山检察院审查起诉后，梁亮的律师带着全部案卷，就案件的定性请教了包括中国政法大学刘艳红教授、清华大学周光权教授、中国政法大学王涌教授、北京大学江溯教授在内的国内知名刑法、刑诉法、电子商务法专家，四名专家形成了一致的结论：本案，无锡司法没有管辖权，梁亮等六人技术开发和经营数字资产交易的行为，完全不符合组织领导传销活动罪的犯罪构成，锡山公安不将扣押冻结的巨额数字货币随卷移交严重违法！

After this case was sent to the Xishan Procuratorate for review and prosecution, Liang Liang’s lawyer, with the entire case file, consulted renowned experts in criminal law, criminal procedure law, and e-commerce law in China, including Professor Liu Yanhong from China University of Political Science and Law, Professor Zhou Guangquan from Tsinghua University, Professor Wang Yong from China University of Political Science and Law, and Professor Jiang Su from Peking University, regarding the characterization of the case. All four experts came to a unanimous conclusion: In this case, the judiciary in Wuxi has no jurisdiction; the behaviors of Liang Liang and the other five in developing technology and operating digital asset trading do not conform at all to the criminal composition of organizing and leading pyramid selling activities. The severe illegal act of Xishan Public Security not transferring the enormous amount of digital currency that was confiscated and frozen along with the case files is seriously illegal!

但是，锡山检察院不但不尊重侦查事实、听从专家的意见，反而在不听取辩护人意见的情况下，于2022年5月10日将本案又加上一个非法吸收公众存款罪的罪名，将案件起诉到锡山区法院。2022年底的庭前会议上，六名被告人的辩护人一再强调，本案不具备法院对刑事案件立案审查通过的基本形式要件，连住在锡山区地下车库的驻马店人王锋涛投资Hub币九万元这个唯一和无锡有关联的连接点，也是锡山公安伪造的，因此，锡山法院应该立即驳回公诉。但是，锡山法院却在不说明理由，不提供其有管辖权的依据的情况下，于2023年7月24日强行对本案开庭审理。

因为案件涉及全国上万名投资人的利益，无锡公安查扣的价值两亿多元的数字货币，全部是这些用户投资人的血汗钱，因此，很多投资人都非常关注本案的审理，共有数十名投资人前来无锡，希望能旁听。明知自己制造冤案，心虚无比的无锡公安，竟然不顾体面，派出大量警力，跟踪、非法传唤和控制投资人和被告人家属，前去申请旁听的投资人，至少有14名被无锡公安限制人身自由12至24小时不等，其中至少有4名已经通过锡山法院的小程序办理了旁听证的，也被无锡公安大夏天关进没有空调，只能容身的玻璃笼子，不给水喝，十几个小时后被要挟：必须立即离开无锡，以后让我们在无锡见到你一次，抓你一次。7月24日、25日本案第一次开庭期间，心虚的无锡公检法，在锡山法院周边数个街区布置了大量警力，据说无锡的每个县区都被抽调了警力，律师们看到，法院门口就有无锡森林警察在值勤。锡山法院更是停止了案件当事人和律师的正常进出，在安检门之外，搭起了长三五十米的全封闭彩钢长廊，全部诉讼参与人必须经过长廊才能进入法院。长廊之外，停着大巴车、警车、面包车，随时准备好把前来旁听的投资人、家属和律师转移。

However, the Xishan Procuratorate not only disrespected the investigative facts and disregarded the experts’ opinions, but also, without listening to the opinions of the defense, added a charge of illegally accepting public deposits to the case on May 10, 2022, and prosecuted it to the Xishan District Court. During the pre-trial meeting at the end of 2022, the defense attorneys for the six defendants emphasized time and again that this case does not meet the basic formal requirements for court review of criminal cases. Even the only link related to Wuxi, where Wang Fengtao from Zhumadian, living in an underground garage in Xishan District, invested ninety thousand yuan in Hub coin, was fabricated by Xishan Public Security. Therefore, Xishan Court should immediately reject the public prosecution. However, the Xishan Court forcefully proceeded with the trial on July 24, 2023, without explaining the reasons and without providing the basis for its jurisdiction.

第一次庭审结束后，为了防止投资人和家属上访，无锡公安更是不惜血本，出动警力奔赴四川、北京、安徽、广东等地，对他们怀疑可能会上访的人员进行骚扰恐吓。其中，对梁亮的妻子林开，无锡公安明知其无罪，仍然派出至少六人，于2023年8月22、23、24日连续三天，每天从下午开始，一直讯问到凌晨，其中22号，在花家地派出所，从下午5时一直讯问到次日凌晨3时，共10个小时，所问内容完全与梁亮的案情无关，只是告诉林开，梁亮的律师是骗子，是骗你们家钱的。23日，在东直门派出所，从下午3点直到凌晨24点，问林开，律师费是怎么付的？你和组织上访的那些投资人有没有联系？24日，在东直门派出所，从下午17点直到24点，打开林开的手机，翻开聊天记录。在梁亮的辩护人张庆方律师在网上公开警告骚扰林开的这伙人不要甘为鹰犬，并让林开约他们来自己的律所谈的情况下，8月26号，这些人还于深夜去猛敲林开家的门，影响其家人和邻居生活。8月27日，锡山检察院为了帮锡山公安下台阶，又派出负责梁亮案审查起诉的检察官沈晗，来给他们明明知道没半点有罪证据的林开，在公安第一次取保早已过期，检察院给办的取保也即将到期的情况下，又给办理了监视居住六个月的手续。

Since the case involves the interests of tens of thousands of investors nationwide, and the digital currency worth more than 200 million yuan seized by Wuxi Public Security is the hard-earned money of these investors, many investors are very concerned about the trial of this case, and dozens of them have come to Wuxi hoping to attend the hearing. Knowing well that they had fabricated a wrongful case, the guilty-conscious Wuxi Public Security, disregarding their dignity, dispatched a large number of police forces to track, illegally summon, and control investors and the families of the defendants. At least 14 investors who applied to attend the hearing were restricted in their personal freedom for 12 to 24 hours by Wuxi Public Security, among which at least four had already obtained the hearing certificates through the Xishan Court’s app. They were also confined by Wuxi Public Security in a glass cage that could only accommodate them, without air conditioning in the height of summer, and without water. They were threatened after more than ten hours to leave Wuxi immediately and would be arrested every time they were seen in Wuxi afterward. On July 24 and 25, during the first hearing of this case, the guilt-ridden Wuxi Public Security, Procuratorate, and Court deployed a large number of police forces around several blocks surrounding Xishan Court. It is said that police forces were pulled from every county and district in Wuxi. Lawyers saw that Wuxi Forest Police were on duty at the entrance of the court. Xishan Court even halted the normal entry and exit of the parties and lawyers involved in the case, and outside the security checkpoint, erected a fully enclosed colored steel corridor that was 30 to 50 meters long, through which all litigants must pass to enter the court. Outside the corridor, buses, police cars, and vans were parked, ready to transport the attending investors, relatives, and lawyers at any time.

2023年8月31日，无锡公安出动几十名警力，数辆大巴和警车，在马鞍山和南京交界处的国道上，将准备前往江苏高院上访的数十名投资人强行控制，并以寻衅滋事罪和组织领导传销活动罪刑拘了其中的多名。

On August 31, 2023, Wuxi Public Security dispatched dozens of police officers, several buses, and police cars to the national highway at the junction of Ma’anshan and Nanjing, forcibly controlling dozens of investors who were preparing to petition at the Jiangsu High Court, and detained many of them on charges of picking quarrels and provoking troubles and organizing and leading pyramid selling activities.

据不完全统计，自2022年以来，无锡公安在办理梁亮等六人传销案过程中，为了防止投资人上访，共传唤、控制58人次，在明知检察院不批捕的情况下，刑拘其中的十几人。其中，对梁亮的姐姐梁敏，无锡公安于2023年8月22日-26日连续传唤一周，所问内容均与办案丝毫不相干，只是为了恐吓梁敏：不得为梁亮喊冤，不得鼓励投资人上访！就在梁亮第二次开庭就要结束的最后一天，无锡公安在梁敏拒不配合非法传唤前往无锡的情况下，派出至少五名警员，在成都将她刑拘，并带到无锡。

According to incomplete statistics, since 2022, during the handling of the pyramid selling case involving Liang Liang and other six people, Wuxi Public Security, in order to prevent investors from petitioning, has summoned and controlled 58 people in total and detained a dozen of them criminally even when knowing that the Procuratorate would not approve the arrest. Among them, Liang Liang’s sister, Liang Min, was continuously summoned by Wuxi Public Security from August 22 to 26, 2023, for a week. The content asked was completely unrelated to the case handling and was only to intimidate Liang Min: she must not proclaim Liang Liang’s injustice, nor encourage investors to petition! On the last day of Liang Liang’s second trial, Wuxi Public Security, under the circumstances where Liang Min refused to cooperate with the illegal summons to Wuxi, dispatched at least five police officers to detain her in Chengdu and brought her to Wuxi.

This paragraph depicts how Wuxi Public Security has taken extensive measures, including illegal summoning and detention of individuals related to the case, to suppress petitions and protests related to the case against Liang Liang and others, implicating and intimidating family members and potentially unrelated individuals in the process.

以上事实，全部有当事人的亲笔证词，并有现场录像为证。这，加起来，共动用了多少警力，花了无锡的纳税人多少钱？无锡的社会治安好到公安闲着没事，不得不去外地以骚扰迫害无辜公民为乐来打发清闲的程度了吗？无锡党委对无锡公安疏于管理到在自己的地盘上没一个公民被骗被害，自己的社会秩序没受到任何影响的情况下，完全纵容其异地抢钱的程度了吗？

All of the above facts are substantiated by the handwritten testimonies of the involved parties and are corroborated by on-site video recordings. All together, how many police forces were mobilized, and how much money from Wuxi’s taxpayers was spent? Is the public security in Wuxi so good that the police, having nothing to do, have to go to other places to harass and persecute innocent citizens for amusement to pass their free time? Has the Wuxi Party Committee been so lax in managing Wuxi Public Security that, even when not a single citizen has been deceived or harmed on their own territory, and their social order has not been affected at all, they completely indulge in their ability to grab money from other places?

尊敬的杜小刚书记，我丝毫不怀疑无锡公安的领导对您的忠诚，他们异地趋利执法，可能主观上也是为了给地方财政减轻压力，仅仅梁亮案这一笔，如果得逞，可就是超过两亿的不义之财啊！

Respected Secretary Du Xiaogang, I have no doubt about the loyalty of the leaders of Wuxi Public Security to you. Their law enforcement in different jurisdictions may also subjectively be intended to alleviate pressure on local finances. Just the case of Liang Liang alone, if successful, would amount to more than two hundred million in ill-gotten gains!

但是，你下边这些人只会算小账，这种破坏法治，不顾吃相，异地劫财的行为，过去我们只听说黑龙江七台河公安到杭州干过，山东聊城公安到丽水干过，谁能想到，现在，在全国人民心目中物华天宝，人杰地灵，中国经济发展最好的无锡，也出现了公安外地打家劫舍的情况？是无锡的财政吃不住了，还是无锡的吏治败坏了？这种违法乱纪的恶行不去断然制止，对无锡的形象，会产生多大损害，对无锡潜在的外来投资，会造成多么负面的影响？这种大账，只有杜书记你这种地方主官才能算清楚啊！

However, those below you only know how to consider the minor details. Such behavior, which destroys the rule of law, is unscrupulous and involves robbery in different jurisdictions. In the past, we have only heard of the public security in Qitaihe, Heilongjiang doing this in Hangzhou, and the public security in Liaocheng, Shandong doing this in Lishui. Who could have thought that now, in Wuxi, which is known to all the people of the country as a place of great natural and cultural wealth, and where China’s economic development is best, we also have cases of public security committing robbery in different places? Is it because Wuxi’s finances are unsustainable, or is it because the governance in Wuxi has deteriorated? If such illegal and disorderly acts are not resolutely stopped, how much damage will it cause to the image of Wuxi, and what negative impact will it have on potential foreign investment in Wuxi? Only a local chief official like Secretary Du can clearly calculate such major accountabilities!

在此，我给你讲一个寓言故事：宋国有个卖酒的人，每次卖酒都量得很公平，对客人殷勤周到，酿的酒又香又醇，店外酒旗迎风招展高高飘扬。然而却没有人来买酒。时间一长，酒都变酸了。卖酒者感到迷惑不解，于是请教住在同一条巷子里的长者杨倩。杨倩问：“你养的狗很凶吧？”卖酒者说：“狗凶，为什么酒就卖不出去呢？”杨倩回答：“人们怕狗啊。大人让孩子揣着钱提着壶来买酒，而你的狗却扑上去咬人，这就是酒变酸了、卖不出去的原因啊。”

Here, let me share a parable with you: In the State of Song, there was a man who sold wine. Each time he sold his wine, he measured it fairly, and he was attentive and courteous to his customers. The wine he brewed was fragrant and mellow, and the flags outside his shop waved high and fluttered in the wind. However, no one came to buy his wine. As time went by, the wine turned sour. The wine seller was puzzled and distressed, so he sought advice from an elder named Yang Qian who lived in the same lane. Yang Qian asked, “Is the dog you keep very fierce?” The wine seller replied, “If the dog is fierce, why can’t I sell the wine?” Yang Qian answered, “People are afraid of dogs. Adults send children with money and a jug to buy wine, but your dog rushes up and bites them. This is why the wine has turned sour and can’t be sold.”

我讲这个故事，并不是要骂办理Hubdex案件的警察，但是，大道理都是相通的，对此，杜书记你也不会有异议吧？

“I share this story not to berate the police handling the Hubdex case, but because great truths are universal. On this matter, Secretary Du, you wouldn’t have any objections, would you?”

尊敬的杜书记，一个人的一生很短暂，再过若干年，我们都终将要离开这个世界。但是，史笔如铁，每个人行的善，做的恶，被将被公正的载入历史。眼下，在你主政的无锡，发生的公安在完全没有管辖权的情况下异地趋利抢钱的事件，导致扼杀创新技术驱动的经济发展，迫害发心向善、从未作恶的科技创新创业人才，无论你处理不处理，都会被历史公正地记录。Respected Secretary Du, the lifespan of an individual is quite brief, and after a few more years, we all will eventually have to leave this world. However, the pen of history is like iron, every good deed and every evil act committed by someone will be fairly recorded in history. At present, under your governance in Wuxi, incidents have occurred where the police, with absolutely no jurisdiction, are going to other places to unlawfully seize money, leading to the stifling of economic development driven by innovative technology and the persecution of innovative entrepreneurs who have good intentions and have never committed any evil deeds. Whether you address this issue or not, it will be recorded impartially by history.

你看着办！

Do as you see fit!
