本顿（伊利诺伊州）——美国司法部南伊利诺伊区检察官办公室10月上旬宣布，中国公民金胜瀚（Shenghan Jin，27岁）因在投资诈骗中充当上门收取金条的「信使」，被联邦法院判处27个月监禁。金胜瀚此前已就一项共谋电汇诈骗罪和一项电汇诈骗罪认罪。法庭文件显示，自2024年5月起，未被起诉的同伙在网上与伊利诺伊州贝尔维尔市一名受害者建立信任后推销虚假投资，诱使其电汇款项并购买金条；金胜瀚于2025年7月到受害者家中取金时被捕。

Chinese National Shenghan Jin Sentenced to 27 Months as Gold-Courier in $2.5 Million Investment Scam
BENTON, Ill. — The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Illinois announced in early October that Shenghan Jin, 27, a Chinese national, has been sentenced to 27 months in federal prison for acting as a courier who collected gold bars in an investment scam. Jin had pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and one count of wire fraud. Court documents say that beginning in May 2024, uncharged co-conspirators befriended a Belleville man online, pitched fake investments, and instructed him to wire money and buy gold bars; Jin was arrested in July 2025 when he arrived at the victim's home to pick up gold.
The victim lost about $2.5 million through cryptocurrency, wire transfers and physical gold. U.S. Attorney Steven D. Weinhoeft said Jin's student visa expired in 2022 and that he will be deported immediately after serving his sentence. The case was investigated by IRS Criminal Investigation and the U.S. Secret Service.
