The person arrested at RCBC described the internal situation, stating that 340,000 U were transferred away by law enforcement officers.

I was one of the people caught previously at RCBC in the Philippines, let me tell you about the real situation inside—someone among us had 340,000 yuan swiped from their Alipay!

After we were arrested, our phones were immediately confiscated, and no one told us when we could leave. They arranged beds, but it was impossible to sleep, I felt like I was living a nightmare. In the morning I was still at work, and suddenly I was brought in, I'm still dazed now, not understanding how I "got into trouble".

From the second day, they began calling us one by one into a small dark room for a talk, basically saying that we "suspected of violating Philippine law" and must cooperate with the investigation. They didn't actually confiscate the phones, but let us find them the next day and unlock them for inspection. They asked you to open Alipay, WeChat Wallet, Binance, Huobi, various exchanges, horse racing clubs, Jiuding... they spared no effort in searching everything.

The key point is, they would claim this was legal enforcement, asking you to transfer money to their designated accounts, and said this was "cooperation with law enforcement" used as "evidence". There were even masked Chinese lackeys watching the whole process. Luckily, I convert my monthly salary into Malaysian ringgit and send it back home, so there wasn't much money on my phone, but still over 8,000 yuan was swiped from my Alipay.

A colleague of mine had it worse, he said he was forced to unlock his phone and make transfers, a total of 340,000 yuan was taken! They didn't even spare his Binance account and exchange two-factor authentication. He said he was a changed man when he came out, his eyes devoid of light, saying that what they called "legal enforcement" was simply outright robbery!

A final word of advice: for those still working in this field in the Philippines, it's very important to protect yourself, especially during commuting. If possible, don't bring a phone, or better yet, get a decoy phone. Once caught, you really might lose everything and be blamed for money laundering!
