According to Dazhong Daily, on November 11, Shandong police dismantled a cross-provincial extortion and blackmail operation involving 23 suspects across five provinces. The gang impersonated environmental inspectors and journalists, using drones to film farms and publishing negative videos to extort deletion fees from livestock operators. Proceeds were collected via payment codes and third-party payment platforms, which then settled funds to money launderers using virtual currencies. Over two months, the gang conducted 268 cases across 22 cities in Shandong, Henan, Hebei, Jiangsu, and Anhui, with reported losses exceeding 800,000 yuan. Authorities have frozen and seized over 2 million yuan in assets.
