HANGZHOU -- A man has been sentenced to life in prison for orchestrating a Ponzi scheme involving more than 30 million yuan ($4.9 million), a court in Southeast China's Zhejiang province said on Saturday.

Wang Xiaoqing, 30, collected money by offering double-digit interest rates, the Intermediate People's Court in the city of Quzhou said.

Wang told investors that the funds would be used to build a hotel.

Most of the money was spent on paying interest and on Wang's extravagant lifestyle, the court said.
