    Company Engages in Domestic Military Scams

    A company operating for 24 years specializes in domestic military scams, targeting military researchers and employees. Workers are brought in through illegal means such as abduction, purchase, or deception, and are forced to pay deposits upon entry. Communication with the outside world is cut off, and anyone who asks for compensation or wants to leave is beaten. The company engages in daily violence, using electric batons and computers to force employees to scam. Those without sales within two months are sold off, while those with sales are forced to consume within the compound using consumption vouchers valid only there. Torture methods include electric batons, handcuffs, human centipedes, forced male-on-male oral sex, drinking urine, licking feet and anuses, and toothpick pricking. Employees are forced to work 18 hours a day, even during conflicts. After a major cleanup, the company moved and eventually disbanded, leaving employees unpaid and without passports. Lin Qiang, the company's boss, fled before the dissolution.
