The law certainly isn't playing around with these people. I really doubt any of them will see the light of day again. Sounds like there's lots of finger pointing and canaries singing in this group already.

With all the mainland Chinese criminal groups running rampant all over the country, there seems to be a lot of focus on wiping out this non mainland Chinese gang.

The Taiwanese drug lord and his international gang had to get him out in a hurry after he spending years in prison.

I suspect something will happen to all of them once in prison. With the leader getting it first.

It is a bizarre case, even by local standards.

So I guess Chloe Yinrong has now been 'cleared' of all charge$?
