Talk about a real life action movie - possibly. I would hope he has security.

This is the first I've heard about him since he spent a few weeks in China's re-education camp. And now this...

The title of this post makes it seem like he's writing about himself being discovered

Sorry, what was his sin that caused the regime to turn on him?

By one of several possible originators, this information is being carefully curated for our consumption. Ma could be long dead and there’s a need to make him “live on a little longer;” he may be in Vegas playing blue whale; Japan may have agreed to help obfuscate a vacation to Cancun with the fam; he’s still getting premium re-education at Camp Hunny; nobody knows where he is but he’s given Japan et al carte blanche to troll his minders… Statecraft is fun for the whole family.

Ma's FinTech company Ant Group (which is funded by his Alibaba fortune) is a direct challenge to the CCPs centralized hold on the nation's capital. So they are cracking down on him and trying to seize his assets.

He tried to do subprime mortgages, which happen to be the cause of the 2008 economic crisis in the US, and the government wasn't very amused by this idea. He is also the main proponent of the 996 system (having workers work from 9AM to 9PM for 6 days a week) which is not very popular among the common chinese, so cracking down on him would be popular with the public.

If I had billions of dollars, Tokyo wouldn’t be a bad place to live.

Actually, I would like to start a business or whatever I had to do to become a citizen of Ireland and get one of those castles.

Unless I see some footage and not some obscure pictures. The man is gone. He gambled and lost
