Legal analysis: The tricks used by swindlers in illegal fund-raising are as follows:

1. Draw cakes, and illegal fund-raisers will weave one or more projects as tall as possible;

2. Create momentum and make use of all resources to make it bigger;

3. Suck money, and try every means to get money from the participants;

4. Running away, illegal fund-raisers often run away after absorbing money for a period of time, or because the original Ponzi scheme person went to the building, or because of poor management, the capital chain was broken, and fund-raisers suffered heavy economic losses, or even lost all their money.
