【新唐人2014年04月26日讯】中共中央第五巡视组进驻天津期间，“北方信托”原董事长刘惠文19号自杀身亡。21号，“天津私募基金诈骗案”受害者近3千人，聚集天津信访局，反映“私募灾情”，遭警方镇压。有评论分析，刘惠文自杀，可能和中共国务院副总理张高丽有关。而张高丽担任天津市委书记期间，曾号召大陆民众甚至海外投资客到天津去投资，现在众多私募基金被打入非法集资并查封，投资者数百上千亿资金拿不回来，受害人认为，张高丽应负全部责任。
中央第五巡视组从3月28号起，在天津市展开两个月的巡视工作。近3千名来自中国各地的“天津私募基金诈骗案”受害者，21号一大早来到天津信访局。而警方将人强行拉上大巴，有人被非法拘禁。
据上访民众表示，中央巡视组入驻天津，但电话打不进去，当局没有人真正解决民众的问题。
天津私募诈骗案受害者白女士: “这三千人，镇压了，打伤了，而且又把好多人，大巴拉走。我们是集资，它给打成了非法集资，其实是政府参与，我们这案子，我们上访了五年多，我们的问题报到天津市，他们也回复收到了，但是问题就是不解决，天津市拖着，现在我们就是怀疑有更大的背景，怕牵扯到他们，所以这个案子只能压着。”
现任中共中央政治局常委张高丽，从2007年3月到2012年年底，担任天津市委书记。5年里，天津当局出台系列的财税优惠政策，大力推广私募基金。市、区两级领导也积极配合广招。据天津工商局的资料显示，截至2011年底，登记注册的私募股权基金公司爆增到2396户，注册资本达4409多亿元。
天津私募诈骗案受害者张女士:“我们这个案子是跟区政府合作的，但是后来根本不是那么回事，钱去哪了，现在就是疑问，找他的财产什么的，然后都说没有，咱们找吧，找了那么多年了，但是到现在还在踢皮球，他们当中是不是有什么暗箱操作?”
2010年年底到2011年10月期间，天津各级政府要求广大投资人响应“先行先试、借用管还”等号召，到天津去投资。在政府信用的担保之下，投资者义无反顾的投入了私募致富的美梦中。
而当天津众多私募基金被打入非法集资并查封之后，各地受害者不断向天津市政府上访请愿，要求天津市政府给出解释。
天津人大代表独立参选人王中祥:“它给这个事件定性为非法集资，让很多的受害者非常的不满，因为非法集资意谓着你本身的投资就是非法的，所以你的资产得不到合法的保障。明明是政府在正面鼓动，推动的这个事情，这么严重的性质的问题，你政府不承担责任，实在说不过去，张高丽就应该承担政治和法律责任。”
截至目前，天津私募公司已经被查封数十家，其中涉及的金额高达数百亿甚至更多，受害人数十万，是中国最大的私募金融诈骗案之一。
有报导说，张高丽为“十八大入常”，打造政绩，因此天津私募丑闻遭到封锁，官媒更是集体失声。去年新年，大批受害人在市政府抗议，高喊“张高丽还钱”。
天津私募诈骗案受害者曾女士:“这个钱都是借亲朋好友的，投的钱，倾其所有吧，儿子因为这个钱投进去，结不了婚，房子卖了，钱投进去，想赚点钱，改善一下生活，结果一进去，连房子都没了，俩口离婚的，家破人亡，买房买不起的，也有死的。”
此外，张高丽主政天津时期还大搞地产投资。今年1月初，天津地方债审计显示，天津政府直接负债达2246亿元，是去年全年财政收入2078亿元的1.28倍。今年2月，国务院副总理汪洋在主持国务院部委主要负责人会议上说，“天津市已欠下五万多亿债务，实际上已经破产，今天要追究也晚了。”

Tianjin Private Fund Scam Exposes the Black Curtain of Zhang Gaoli
During the period of the Fifth Inspection Team of
the Central Committee
of the Chinese Communist Party(CCP)
visiting Tianjin, the Ex-Chairman of the Board of
“Northern Trust" Liu Huiwen killed himself on April 19th.
Then on April 21st, 3,000 victims of the
“Tianjin Private Fund Scam" gathered
at Tianjin Municipal Bureau for Letters and Appeals,
appealing against “the disaster of private fund"
and have been oppressed by the police.
The comments suggested that the suicide
of Liu Huiwen might be related to Zhang Gaoli,
the Deputy Premier of CCP’s State Council.
When Zhang Gaoli took the position
of the CCP Head of Tianjin City,
he at once called for mainland people
and even overseas investors to invest in Tianjin.
At present, a lot of Private Funds were punished
as illegal raising of money and sealed up.
The investors cannot get back the
100 billion RMB. The victims thought,
Zhang Gaoli must be fully responsible for the case.
From March 28th, the CCP’s Fifth Inspection Team
started a two month’s inspection mission in Tianjin.
Nearly three thousand victims across China
of the “Tianjin Private Fund Scam Case" gathered
at Tianjin Municipal Bureau of Letters and Appeals.
The police forced them to get on a bus
and some of the appealers were illegally detained.
According to the appealers, when the Inspection Team
came to Tianjin, the reporting telephone
could not be connected. There was no one
from the Authorities to really solve
the concerns of these people.
Ms Bai is a victim of the scam case and she says:
“Some 3,000 victims were oppressed and beaten with injuries.
Many of them were forced to get on a bus and taken away.
We provided the money for the private fund,
but we were framed with a crime called ‘illegal collecting of funds’.
As a matter of fact, the government was involved in the case.
We have appealed the case for five years
and reported to the Tianjin Municipal Government,
and we also received replies.
But the problem is still not yet solved and is deferred.
So now we have no doubt there must be a stronger
and higher level backstage supporter behind,
who might be involved
and hence causes the postponing of the case."
The current Member of the Standing Committee
of the CCP Politburo, Zhang Gaoli had taken the position
of the CCP Head of Tianjin City from March of 2007
to the end of 2012.
During that five years, the Tianjin Government issued
a series of concessional policies on finance and tax
for largely promoting private funds.
The officials of both Municipal and District levels actively
pushed the private fund and raising money.
According to the information of Tianjin Municipal Bureau
of Industry and Commerce Administration,
by the end of 2011, the registered private equity fund
companies dramatically soared to 2396 companies
with registered capital of 440.9 billion RMB.
Scam victim Ms Zhang: “Our case is connected with
a District Government,…But later it is not that thing.
Where is the money? This is the question.
We tried to find its assets, but we were told there are no assets.
Let us try to find it. We have looked
for it so many years. But we were treated like a ball
to be kicked from this department to another.
So is there any inside blackbox manipulation?"
From the end of 2010 to the October of 2011,
all levels of Tianjin Governments called
for all investors to invest in Tianjin
by responding to the policy “Pilot and trial raising funds
and ensuring the return of the raised funds".
Guaranteed by the credit of governments,
investors without hesitation gathered here
for the dream of becoming rich by investing in private equity.
But when a large number of private equity funds in Tianjin
were declared as “illegally raising funds" and seized,
the victims across China persistently appealed to Tianjin
Municipal Government and asked for answers.
Mr Wang Zhongxiang was once an independent candidate
as a representative of the Tianjin People’s Congress.
He says: “such an incident identified
as an illegal raising of money has dissatisfied many victims.
Because illegal raising of money means
the investment itself is illegal,
the assets are not legally protected…
it was definitively promoted and pushed by the government.
If the government don’t take the responsibility
for a problem with such serious assets,
this cannot be explained.
Zhang Gaoli should assume political and legal obligations."
Till now, around several tens of private equity companies
in Tianjin have been seized and sealed up.
Among them, some companies have involved
tens of billion RMB or even more.
The victims reached 100,000 and
it is one of the largest private fund scam cases in China.
It is reported that, in order to
“become a member of the Politburo Standing Committee
of 19th CCP Central Committee"
and produce so-called political achievements,
the scandals of Tianjin private funds have been covered up
and none of the official medias have spoken up on this incident.
Last New Year,
a large number of victims protested
in front of the Municipal Government and
shouted “Return my money, Zhang Gaoli".
Another victim Ms Zeng: “the invested money was collected
from relatives and friends.
I invested all the money I could raise.
My son was unable to get married without money.
I sold a property and invested here to make more money
and improve my standard of living.
But once I put the money in the funds,
then I had no property, was divorced,
and cannot afford another property.
There are even investors dying due to this scam."
In addition, when Zhang Gaoli took power in Tianjin City,
he also widely promoted property development.
At the beginning of January this year,
the direct debt of the Tianjin Government was 224.6 billion RMB.
This is as much as 1.28 of
last year’s financial revenues of 207.8 billion RMB.
In the February of 2014, Wang Yang presided at a conference
with all principal heads of all departments of the State Council
and said the “Tianjin Government owed a debt
of more than 5 trillion RMB and is actually going bankrupt.
If we are going to trace the responsibility, it is too late."
