‘I’m here’: Chinese fugitive suspected in US$2mil swindle gives away her Myanmar bolthole on Tik Tok

Police tracked the fugitive to Myanmar after she posted a social media message.

A Chinese woman accused of running a lucrative swindle who fled to Myanmar was arrested last month after giving away her location on a live-streaming platform, police in southeastern China said.

The suspect, surnamed Zhang, was accused along with three others of duping more than 190 people out of about 14mil yuan (RM8.47mil) since April 2016, Guizhou police said on the force’s Weibo account. Most of the victims were elderly or had become wealthy thanks to property demolition compensation schemes.
