The Lu County People's Procuratorate of Sichuan Province brought a public prosecution before the Lu County People's Court of Sichuan Province against Huang Yi (Huang), Yuan Xiaojun (Yuan), Liu Changmin, Liu Xiaodong and Fang Kaiqiang (Fang) for the crime of swindling.@#
The bill of indictment said that: in order to repay the gambling debts, Huang and Yuan conspired and designed a gambling trap for swindling the money by way of false card. Huang and Yuan agreed that Huang would find the target for swindling and Yuan would be responsible for inviting persons for false card. After that, Huang contacted Yao XX (Yao), the owner of “Changtian Cyberport” and the victim in this case, and lied to him for negotiating the coal business in person. In the afternoon of November 5, 2004, Liu Xiaodong and Fang were invited to Xuyong County. According to the conspiracy, Huang invited Yao, Liu Xiaodong and Fang to have the dinner together at that night, and introduced Liu Xiaodong and Fang to Yao as the “bosses for coal business”. At the dinner, Huang also called Liu Changmin and Yuan to have the dinner together. After the dinner, Huang invited Yao who was a little drunk to a teahouse for drinking the tea and playing cards. During that period, the defendants controlled the card games by fraud and made Yao lose 580,000 yuan. On the next day, Huang et al came to “Changtian Cyberport” for settling the gambling debts with Yao, and Yao had to convert his two cars into 430,000 yuan and repay the gambling debts together with 140,000 yuan of cash. Huang et al then divided the illicit money. Upon identification of the Jiangyang District Price Identification Center of Luzhou City, the two cars were worth 416,900 yuan. The conduct of five defendants constituted the crime of swindling, and the prosecutor pleaded the Lu County People's Court for punishing them.@#

泸县人民法院经审理查明：@#
2004年10月，被告人黄艺、袁小军为偿还因赌博欠下的债务，共谋设计赌局圈套，以打假牌的方式骗取他人钱财。二被告人约定由黄艺物色被骗对象，由袁小军负责约请帮助打假牌的人。此后，黄艺多次与在外经营业务的“长天数码港”业主、本案被害人姚某某电话联系，谎称请姚某某返家，当面商谈买卖煤矿的有关事宜。2004年11月4日，姚某某从成都返回叙永县，黄艺即邀请姚某某于次日一起共进晚餐，同时通知袁小军约请帮助打假牌的人。11月5日下午，被告人刘小冬、方开强应邀来到叙永县，黄艺在叙永县城“国香”茶楼检验刘小冬、方开强打假牌的技能后，表示满意。随后，黄艺按事先的预谋，于当晚请姚某某在叙永县城的“食圣”火锅店吃饭。为不致引起姚某某的怀疑，黄艺向姚某某介绍刘小冬、方开强时，谎称二人是“经营煤炭生意的老板”。席间，黄艺又电话通知被告人刘昌敏、袁小军前来共进晚餐。饭后，大约18时，黄艺邀已有醉意的姚某某到“碧於蓝”茶楼喝茶打牌。先由刘昌敏、刘小冬与姚某某用扑克牌玩“斗地主”(一种赌博形式)，黄艺为掩饰骗局，提出与姚某某合伙占一股。在打牌过程中，刘小冬以欺诈手段控制大小牌，仅两小时，姚某某就输掉现金1万多元，并欠债10余万元。随后，黄艺等人鼓动姚某某换种方式，改玩“打闷鸡”(一种赌博形式)，以便把输的钱赢回来。之后，黄艺、刘小冬和方开强仍以欺诈手段控制牌局。23时50分左右结束赌局时，姚某某已输掉58万元，其中，欠刘昌敏 13万元，欠方开强44万元。次日，姚某某约请黄艺到“长天数码港”自己的办公室，请求黄艺就赌债之事出面协调，看可否少还点钱。黄艺则以“愿赌服输是赌场规矩”为由，拒绝了姚某某的请求，并通知刘昌敏、方开强到“长天数码港”与姚某某结清赌债。姚某某只得将其所有的、车牌号为藏 030093的尼桑奇骏越野轿车折价30万元，连同14万元现金抵偿欠方开强的赌债，将其所有的、车牌号为川AET995的尼桑蓝鸟轿车折价13万元，抵偿欠刘昌敏的赌债。黄艺等5人随后开车到兴文县“洞乡大酒店”一茶楼内分赃，黄艺、袁小军、刘昌敏各得人民币3万元，刘小冬和方开强分得5万元，并约定待两辆车卖出后再行分赃。经泸州市江阳区价格认证中心鉴定，两辆车的价值共计41．69万元。@#
