【新唐人2014年07月12日讯】大家可能还记得在2011年，一名“90后”的女孩郭美美，她多次在微博上自爆“住大别墅，开玛莎拉蒂”，再加上她的“中国红十字会商业总经理”的认证身份，引发了“红十字会贪腐”轩然大波，让“红十字会”声誉一落千丈。
不过，此后郭美美这个名字并没有消停，她不断制造出各种新闻，而每一次都安然度过。但是最近，郭美美因为参与“世界杯网上赌博”被警方拘捕了。人们关注的是，她这一次被抓是因为背后的“大靠山”倒了吗？我们一起来请看看详细报导。
7月9号，北京警方宣布打掉了一个在“世界杯”足球赛期间，组织赌球的犯罪团伙，抓获8名团伙成员。这些团伙成员在境外赌博网站开户，通过电话、即时通讯软件“微信”等形式下注。
警方还根据线人举报，当场抓获了正在参与赌博的郭美美。郭美美对赌博的事实也供认不讳。
其实，自“世界杯”开赛以来，郭美美多次在《新浪微博》上透露自己看球赌球。郭美美还自夸，“这几天因看球赛基本没睡觉，还要工作”、“困啊！”
网友“周周煮粥”认为，在中国抓人是政治的需要，是剧情的需要。所以现在抓郭美美，不是想治治她的腐败、或她的炫富生活，而是为了引导当前的舆论导向。
最近大陆连续发生群体抗争事件，如广东汕头万人上街反对兴建发电厂，河南省高级人民法院门口民众自焚等。
“周周煮粥”认为，当局为转移社会公众的视线，可能失去靠山的郭美美，成了这次行动的牺牲品。
网友“周周煮粥”：“应该是他的靠山被抓了，可能性大一些。否则是按着她以往的记录，应该来说是没人敢动她的。现在她被抓，肯定是因为她的后台靠不住了。”
2011年6月，当时默默无闻的郭美美，在网上炫耀价值200多万的名贵跑车，还自称是官方“红十字会”高层而一举成名。
郭美美从此继续不断制造吸引人们眼球的新闻，在网上狂晒性感照、参加三亚“海天盛筵”勾搭富二代、出演电影《海天盛宴》主角，以及花13万元人民币整容等等。她还与“中红博爱资产管理有限公司”的执行长(CEO)翁涛网上对骂、互揭丑闻。
翁涛揭露，郭美美是前“中红博爱”董事王军的“女友”，而郭美美则说王军是她的“干爸”。
身家和关系都不菲的翁涛，在2012年被深圳警方以吸毒的名义抓捕，此前他正式向法院起诉了郭美美。
其实，网友还怀疑另一位“王军”与郭美美有关。2012年被移除职务的前“红十字会”副主席王军，曾任中共财政部副部长。
今年初，郭美美又被香港媒体揭露，她曾和大陆富豪一起去澳门豪赌，由富豪买单。但她又要和富豪分开赌，结果欠下2亿6000万港元赌债，富豪也拒绝为此买单，郭一度被赌场追债，后来靠“干爹”还债，才得以暂时脱身。
网友侯欣认为，郭美美的劣行早已公开化了，现在抓她是想顺藤摸瓜，查到她背后那个人。
网友侯欣：“如果能有拿2.6个亿赌博，那么身家应该在这个数字附近，如果没有但也差不了很远。如果她能欠2.6亿的赌债来，说明这个女子的钱来路是不太正的。”
网友吕千荣也表示，郭美美平时太嚣张，可能牵扯到“红十字会”腐败内幕，还包括她背后“干爹”的权力腐败等。
网友吕千荣：“这么腐败，牵扯这么多黑幕、内幕，太深了，包括《人民网》等一些官媒，都报导说这个郭美美是个小妖。那后面的大神是谁呢？”
网友根据郭美美“微博”上的照片，还发现，“红十字会”副会长郭长江曾与郭美美同机飞行。

Who Is Behind Guo Meimei?
In 2011, a young girl named Guo Meimei repeatedly blew on
Weibo that she was ‘living in a big villa, and driving a
Maserati’.
Her posts and her identity as’commercial general manager of
the Red Cross Society of China’ have triggered
a great outcry of ‘Red Cross corruption’,
ruining the reputation of the Society
Since then, Guo Meimei continuously created news,
but got safely through.
Until recently, when she was arrested
for ‘online gambling on the World Cup.
People suspected her arrest was due to the fall
of her ‘big backer’.
Here is the report.
On July 9, Beijing police announced a crack down
on a criminal gang which organized illegal gambling
during the World Cup, and arrested 8 members.
The gang has accounts on offshore gambling sites,
and places bets through phone and instant messaging
software such as ‘WeChat’.
The police also arrested Guo Meimei who was gambling
on the spot based on their informers.
Guo Meimei admitted to police she had taken part in gambling.
In fact, Guo Meimei revealed she had watched and
gambled on the soccer matches several times since the
World Cup began.
Guo Meimei also posted comments online such as ‘Did not
have much sleep recently because of watching matches,
and still have to work’, ‘Feel sleepy!’
One netizen ‘jameschownb’ believes that arrests in China
are political needs and needs of the show.
Hence the recent arrest of Guo Meimei was not meant
to punish her corruption or show-off lifestyle,
but to influence the current direction of public opinion.
Many protests have occurred in China recently,
such as tens of thousands of people took to the streets to
oppose the construction of power plants in Shantou, Guangdong;
and people conducted self-immolation at the entrance of Henan
Province Higher People’s Court.
Netizen ‘jameschownb’ indicates Guo Meimei could have lost
her backing and become a sacrifice for the authorities to
divert public attention.
Netizen ‘jameschownb’: ‘It is likely that her backer was arrested.
Otherwise nobody would dare to arrest her
according to her previous records.
Her arrest now is surely that her backing has gone.’
In June 2011, the nobody Guo Meimei suddenly made a name
by boasting online of her luxury car worth more than 2 million.
and claimed herself a high authority in the ‘Red Cross
Society of China’.
Since then, Guo Meimei has made news that attracted public
attention.
She posted her sexy photos online, participated in Sanya
“Hainan Rendez Vous" to seduce the second generation
of the rich, spent 130,000 yuan on plastic surgery.
She also had an online war of words with Wong Tao,
CEO of ‘Zhonghong Boai Asset Management Limited’,
exposing each others’ scandals.
According to Wong Tao, Guo Meimei is the ‘girlfriend’ of
Wang Jun, the ex-director of ‘Zhonghong Boai’,
but Guo Meimei claimed that Wang Jun is her ‘godfather’.
The wealthy and well-connected Wong Tao was arrested
by Shenzhen police for taking drugs,
prior to that he had formally sued Guo Meimei.
In fact, netizens suspected Guo Meimei was
related to another ‘Wang Jun’, whose title as vice-chairman
of the Red Cross Society of China was removed in 2012.
He was also the former Deputy Minister of Finance.
Earlier this year, Hong Kong media revealed that Guo Meimei
and a mainland tycoon went to Macau to gamble together, and
the tycoon paid all the bills.
However, later she wanted to gamble on her own
and ran up gambling debts of HK $260 million.
The tycoon refused to pay the debts, and Guo was being
chased for debt repayment by the casino.
Later her ‘godfather’ helped her to pay the debt,
and she was able to temporarily get away with it.
Netizen Houxin believes that Guo Meimei’s arrest was meant
to catch the person behind her since her misdeeds
have been public for a very long time.
Netizen Houxin: ‘If she has 260 million dollars to gamble, then
the amount of her net worth should be close to this number.
Her gambling debt of 260 million dollars means the source
of her money is really suspicious.’
Netizen Lv Rongqian also states that Guo Meimei was always
very arrogant.
She may be involved in corruption in the ‘Red Cross Society’,
as well as power corruption of the ‘godfather’ who’s behind her.
Netizen Lv Qianrong:’It is so corrupt, with so many dark
and hidden stories involved.
Even the regime media, People’s Daily, stated that Guo Meimei
is only a small one. So who is the big one behind?’
From the photos Guo Meimei posted on Weibo,
netizens found out that Guo Changjiang, vice-chairman
of the Red Cross Society of China, had taken the same flight
as Guo Meimei.
