1. Whether the perpetrator has subjective malice

If the borrower of a normal private loan is willing to repay the loan at the time of borrowing, there are objective reasons that lead to the failure to repay the loan on time; However, the perpetrator of the borrowing fraud subjectively has the malicious intent of illegal possession, and "borrowing money" is only a fictitious pretense, and there is no willingness to repay the loan in essence.

2. Whether the perpetrator has carried out acts of defrauding public or private property by fabricating facts or concealing the truth

Normal borrowers will generally truthfully inform the purpose and reason of the loan, and will rarely use deceptive means. When borrowing money, fraudsters will fabricate facts and conceal the truth, inducing lenders to have a false perception that they will lend money in the belief that the other party has the intention and ability to repay, so as to obtain property.

3. Whether the purpose of the actor's use of the loan is reasonable

Normal borrowers will generally use the loan for a way that can generate legitimate income to ensure the repayment of the loan; Fraudsters, on the other hand, will not consider returning the property after they have been defrauded, and may use the money for gambling, drug abuse or personal profligacy.

4. Whether the actor has acquired property as a result, and whether the lender has suffered property losses as a result

The perpetrator obtained a relatively large amount of public or private property by fraud and illegally took possession of it, causing the lender to suffer property losses.
