(Yicai Global) June 4 -- China's first fake online traffic case has been resolved with both the  service provider and the buyer getting stripped of their illegal income.

Click fraud harms the  public interest and order as well as good customs so the plaintiff's  profit of CNY16,130 (USD2,335), as well as the defendant's gains of over  CNY30,740, were ordered to be confiscated, the Beijing Internet Court  said in its verdict posted on its website yesterday.

The defendant made a verbal agreement to buy beefed-up data traffic in 2017 but after failing  to pay a fee the plaintiff sued the person. 

The nation's first court that focuses on internet forensics live-broadcasted the hearing of the  case online and the video has been streamed more than 2 million times.
