The verdict stated that Mr. Yang never operated lottery tickets after receiving the money, but used the money to operate underground futures. He only paid "profit" to Nv Pan seven times, totaling 41,000 yuan, and to Nv Tang three times, totaling 15,000 yuan, and then refused to contact her. The two of them had no way to sue, but they realized they had been deceived and lodged a complaint with the police.

His conduct was not good, and he also used the trust of his former colleagues to defraud, causing property losses to the victim. However, he admitted after the crime that he had paid part of the money, so he was sentenced to six months and five months in prison respectively. The 130,000 yuan and 100,000 yuan in criminal proceeds that were not withheld from the case were confiscated.
