A gaming machine room is hidden in a commercial building in Kaohsiung. The heroine surnamed Cai is suspected of using a legal information company as a cover. She has been operating as an enterprise for five years and has an annual cash flow of more than 140 million yuan. After months of evidence collection and hard work, the Criminal Bureau's Southern Crime Center arrested 21 suspects and seized real estate and accounts totaling 26.41 million yuan. After the interrogation, she was charged with gambling, money laundering and other crimes.

Nanda pointed out that a legally registered information software service company in Sanmin District is suspected to be the logistics computer room of an underground gambling website. The task force reported to the Kaohsiung District Prosecutor's Office for command. After several months of monitoring, a critical search was launched in late May this year. During the investigation, the police found that the organization structure of the group was quite strict. A 52-year-old woman named Cai served as the on-site supervisor. She was not only responsible for performance appraisal, but also had dedicated administrative personnel to handle errands.

A sign saying "The sales team is like a pack of hungry wolves" was even hung up on the site, and employees were trained to be wolf-like through brainwashing slogans. Members of the computer room were commanded to encourage people to deposit money and place bets through telemarketing, silent customer return visits, and other tactics.

The police seized 14 computer hosts, 67 mobile phones, 4 servers, 120,000 yuan in cash and other evidence at the scene, and successively arrested Ms. Cai and a total of 21 employees. The prosecutors checked the roster and found that the computer room had been hidden in commercial offices in urban areas for 5 years. It handled more than 140 million yuan in gambling money laundering every year, and the cumulative amount of money laundered in the past 5 years exceeded 700 million yuan in illegal profits.

In order to completely cut off the resurgence of the criminal group, the prosecutors ruled in accordance with the money laundering prevention and control law to seize the account deposits of two real estate and gaming companies under Cai's name, with a total value of approximately 26.41 million yuan. After interrogation, they were transferred to the Kaohsiung District Prosecutor's Office for investigation on suspicion of criminal gambling crimes and money laundering prevention and control laws.
