被害者が不利となる金銭被害と民事不介入の警察 Financial damages that disadvantage victims and the police's non-intervention in civil matters

天災が起きると人災が発生して、裁判をやりたがる弁護士が増加する

When natural disasters occur, man-made disasters follow, and there is an increase in lawyers eager to pursue lawsuits.

2020年以降に新型コロナウィルスが世界中で大流行して、詐欺師と悪徳弁護士の暗躍が増加したように思う。

Since the COVID-19 pandemic began in 2020, it seems that the activities of fraudsters and unscrupulous lawyers have increased globally.

私達も書籍出版の販売を手伝うという「多数の手口」を活用されて、長い付き合いの知人に多額の金銭を奪われた。

We were also exploited by various schemes under the pretense of assisting with book sales, resulting in a significant amount of money being stolen by a long-time acquaintance.

金融加害者は「自分も被害者、黒幕がある」等の自己保身に終始して、一向に返金をする姿勢が無かった。

The financial perpetrators focused solely on self-preservation by claiming to be victims themselves or that there was a mastermind behind it, showing no intention of providing refunds.

情けない話であるが、「私達も含めた人間は心の弱みを利用されやすい傾向」がある。

It is a regrettable fact that "humans, including ourselves, tend to be vulnerable to exploitation of their emotional weaknesses."

自分は絶対に詐欺被害を跳ね返すと考えている人達の多くが、新型コロナウィルスが大流行した2020年以降に多種多様の被害に遭っている。

Many people who believe they can definitely resist fraud have suffered various forms of damage since the COVID-19 pandemic began in 2020.

2024年9月現在では「SNS型投資詐欺、ロマンス詐欺」が、日本で社会問題となっている。

As of September 2024, "SNS-type investment fraud and romance scams" have become social issues in Japan.

私達は「日本警察を含めた多数機関に伝達する」と金融加害者に伝達した結果、急に少ない額であるが返金が開始された。

After informing the financial perpetrators that we would report the matter to "numerous agencies including the Japanese police," refunds, though small in amount, were suddenly initiated.

不幸にも金融詐欺に遭った場合は「一秒一刻を争って、様々な公的機関に相談が必要」で、早期に対応をする必要がある。

Unfortunately, if you fall victim to financial fraud, "you need to consult various public institutions immediately and act quickly."

2024年にナイトブラ販売の広告塔と豊胸手術で裁判になっている「てんちむ」は、自己資金で4億円返済を行っているが、販売企業と十分な話し合いと合意が必要であったと思う。

"Tenchim," who is involved in lawsuits over night bra sales and breast augmentation surgery in 2024, has repaid 400 million yen from her own funds, but I believe thorough discussions and agreements with the sales company were necessary.

てんちむの返済行動や短期間で数億円を稼ぐ行動力は素晴らしいが、販売企業もまた被害者となっている可能性もある。

While Tenchim's repayment actions and ability to earn hundreds of millions of yen in a short period are remarkable, there is also a possibility that the sales company is a victim.

インフルエンサー依頼をした販売企業と「てんちむ」の契約内容はわからないが、被害者はナイトブラを購入した顧客と販売企業になっている可能性が理解できたはずだ。

Although the details of the contract between the sales company that hired the influencer and Tenchim are unknown, it should be understood that the victims include both the customers who purchased the night bras and the sales company.

販売企業と話し合いをきちんとして「顧客に対しても弁済をどのようにしていくのか」を、それぞれ合意が必要であったように感じた。

I felt that proper discussions with the sales company were necessary to reach agreements on how to compensate the customers as well.

2024年9月にyoutubeを通したてんちむの動画では、数億円の支払いが必要で「悔しい、悔しい」と彼女は嘆いていた。

In a September 2024 YouTube video by Tenchim, she lamented that she needed to make payments of several hundred million yen, expressing her frustration.

加害者である彼女の気持ちも痛いほど理解できるが、要因は「豊胸手術の事実の隠蔽」が継続されたままバストアップの商品広告が継続されたことにある。

While I can deeply understand the feelings of the perpetrator, the issue stems from the continued concealment of the fact of breast augmentation while advertising bust-up products.

加害者からすれば依頼企業の過剰広告も問題という主張があるものの、そもそもは豊胸手術を隠蔽しなければ起こらなかったことである。

While the perpetrator argues that the excessive advertising by the hiring company is also a problem, the issue would not have occurred if the breast augmentation had not been concealed in the first place.

「私達の書籍出版を助けるという名目」で多額の金銭を奪った加害者男性も、返金対応を開始したから詐欺ではないという主張を開始した。

The male perpetrator who stole a large amount of money under the pretense of helping with our book publishing has also started claiming that it is not fraud since he has begun providing refunds.

加害者男性は言いがかりであるが「被害者違法性を探し始める行動」で、相殺理論を開始した。

Although the male perpetrator's claims are baseless, he has begun actions to find "legal issues with the victims" and started using offsetting theories.

豊胸とナイトブラインフルエンサー問題と私達の被害に共通することは、被害者側の納得と説明責任であった。

A common issue between the breast augmentation and night bra influencer problems and our own case is the need for the victims' understanding and accountability.

返金行動と被害者を加害者に変換する作業は、被害者に新たな痛みを与える二次被害となる。

The process of refunding and transforming victims into perpetrators causes secondary damage by inflicting new pain on the victims.

争えばコロナ禍以降に増加した「裁判をして着手金を受け取りたい弁護士」が、被害を拡大する可能性がある。

If disputes arise, lawyers who have increased in number since the pandemic and are eager to receive upfront fees for lawsuits may exacerbate the damage.

私達の加害者が委託した弁護士は「悪徳弁護士」という、世間一般で認知された呼び名に相応しいほど悪質な弁護士達であった。

The lawyers hired by our perpetrators were so unscrupulous that they lived up to the widely recognized label of "unscrupulous lawyers."

加害者弁護士が着手する金銭は「100%多数被害者の被害金である」と警告をしたが、加害者弁護士達は完全無視で訴状提起準備中の被害者を訴える行動をした。

We warned that the money the perpetrator's lawyers would use was "100% of the victims' funds," but the lawyers completely ignored this and took action to sue the victims who were preparing their complaints.

コロナ禍の金銭トラブルで多い内容かもしれないが、「貸金、損害」に対して債務は存在しないという訴状提起が加害者側から行われた。

Although this may be a common issue in financial troubles during the pandemic, the perpetrators filed complaints asserting that no debts exist for "loans or damages."

被害者の被害金を加害者弁護士が着手する行為は、全国の金銭トラブルで必ず存在するはずだ。

The act of the perpetrators' lawyers using the victims' funds is likely to occur in financial troubles across the country.

日本弁護士連合会の会長に直訴もしたが、弁護士を守る姿勢であり残念であった。

We also made a direct appeal to the president of the Japan Federation of Bar Associations, but it was disappointing as they took a stance to protect the lawyers.

私達は警察署は民事不介入の説明と共に「市町村の無料弁護士」による、民事裁判を提案された。

We were advised by the police that they do not intervene in civil matters and were suggested to pursue civil litigation with the assistance of "municipal free lawyers."

日本消費者庁の管轄になる消費者行政センターに相談をして、「無料相談もあるが、金融被害は時間との勝負である為に、有料県弁護士会に予約相談」を提案された。

We consulted with the Consumer Administration Center under the Japan Consumer Affairs Agency, which suggested that "while free consultations are available, financial damage is a race against time, so scheduling a consultation with a paid prefectural bar association" was advisable.

私達は迅速対応の有料相談を選択して「金融被害者が不利となる現実に絶望」をしたのが、新型コロナウィルスが5種移行する1ヶ月前の2023年4月であった。

We chose rapid-response paid consultations and despaired at the harsh reality where financial victims are disadvantaged in April 2023, a month before the COVID-19 virus evolved into five variants.
