According to officer Heng Bunty, on October 27, 2022, a 26-year-old Chinese woman, JIAN QIAO filed a police report over the disappearance of her husband, NAN XING, the night before. The investigation led to the arrest of Liang Jing, a 39-year-old Chinese woman (the wife of the mastermind), and Zang Yanming, a 43-year-old Chinese man, the mastermind behind the crime.

After interrogation, the couple admitted to luring the victim to have dinner with them at the Grand Mansion Villa. Then they held him hostage in one of their rooms while they demanded a ransom from his wife of $100K via USDT and $70K via Huy Vong bank.

A Chinese fellow on twitter claims that the Chinese criminals are all from Taiwan. Some are but surely most are from mainland China. Does anyone know.
The jails must be full of Chinese nowadays.There used to be none.

Particularly heinous crime this. Not only are these abhorrent crims kidnapping chinese and demanding ransoms, in this case $170k, but once received renege on a release and kill the kidnap victim anyway.

Makes me think it must feel like a hostile world to the chinese to go anywhere.

A selection of interesting snippets from the link:

"An estimated 70,000 children are kidnapped in China every year"

-----

"From the period of 1991 to 1996, Chinese police freed an estimated 88,000 kidnapped women and children. During this period, about 143,000 kidnappers were arrested."

-----

"Kidnapping has become a growing business in China"

-----

"Kidnapping is illegal in China" :facepalm:
