Police in Central China's Henan province rounded up 33 people suspected of illegal gold-futures trading in a case involving more than 5,000 investors and at least 380 billion yuan ($59.62 billion).
They promoted investments in Loco London gold, the London gold market in Hong Kong, Guo said, which is illegal on the mainland.
According to Guo, the suspects claimed to be agents of overseas companies dealing in London gold and, with promises of huge returns, persuaded investors to establish accounts on the Internet for trading Loco London gold.
Zhang Hui, head of the Luoyang public security bureau's economic investigation team handling the case, said that the investigation continues and more arrests will be made across China.
