He also sent his and Du's bank account information over to Wu's lawyer.

Neither parties signed the settlement agreement.

The statement added, "On July 11, Wu's mother transferred 500,000 CNY ($77,275 USD) to Du in two separate transactions. Afterwards, Liu, who hadn't received any money, continued to pose as Du and asked Wu's lawyer for the remaining 2,500,000 CNY ($386,375 USD.) Later, he posed as Wu's lawyer also and asked Du to sign the settlement agreement, or else they would ask for the 500,000 CNY($77,275 USD) back. After Du agreed to return the money, Liu posed as Wu's lawyer but gave his own Alipay bank account to Du, and Du transferred 180,000 CNY ($27,818 USD) to this account.
