Who can imagine that a world -renowned asset management giant was deceived by more than 30 million US dollars (about RMB 200 million).

The global asset management giant is the Belle German group, and the behind -the -scenes ambassador of the fraud is the former White House staff and the Hollywood producer William Sadleir.

According to the China Fund, on September 9, local time, Paul A. Engelmayer, a US judge, sentenced the case to the case and sentenced Sadel to a six -year prison and a fine of US $ 31.6 million.

Sader's fraud story is closely related to a company: AVIRON Group, LLC.

Public information shows that Sader is the founder of Avalon Group, LLC. The company has multiple subsidiaries to work together to engage in film production and distribution. Aviron's films include Harry Berry's "Abduction" and Matthew McConner and Anne Hathaway's "Tranquility".

Various types of benefits of Berlaide have invested twice in 2015 and 2017, with a cumulative investment amount of $ 75 million.

It is understood that Sader promised to Bellaide that his funds will support his films, including cooperation with the GROUPM Worldwide under the world's largest advertising company WPP PLC to purchase $ 27 million in prepaid media points.

But in fact, Sader classified the funds to a "fake" company -GROUPM Media Services, LLC ("Sham Groupm LLC"). The company seems to be a subsidiary of Groupm, but it is actually a "fake" company used to transfer funds.

Sader even forged a representative for the "fake" company, named "Amanda Stevens". Sader told Berreide with Amanda Stevens that Aviron's balance of Aviron's advertising in Sham Groupm LLC was $ 27 million. In addition, Sader's AMANDA STEVENS also claimed that he was resting leave to respond to Berlaide's doubts.

The judge said that Sader bought the "Seven House Mansion" at Belly Villa with a $ 14 million of it, and the mansion was once listed as one of the most expensive real estate in Los Angeles. In addition, I bought a Tesla Model X for myself and rented a plane.

In addition, in a plan called "UCC", Sader will sell more than 3 million US dollars assets. Specifically, AVIRON has mortgaged some assets to Bellede to obtain a loan, which is called the "UCC Plan". In 2019, Sader forged the signature of the Perlaide Fund Manager and signed a document of "abandoning UCC's rights". Once the document is signed, it means that Sader can sell the asset without telling Berlaide.

U.S. prosecutor Damian Williams described Sader: "On the surface, he is a bright Hollywood tycoon; in the back, he has shamelessly shamelessly. Using fake companies, fake documents, and even false identity, Sader tries to cover up the cover. My own crime. "
