He didn’t bend the rules. He had the audacity to voice an opinion.

So did Martin Skrehli. Your point? Publicly fighting with regulators is a bad idea, I’m anywhere in the world, o matter how rich you are

Politely suggesting moderate policy reforms in the context of a business workshop dedicated to such matters is hardly "publicly fighting with regulators" let alone anything deserving of being disappeared.

Looks like you, along with many other hawks, were wrong

According to an unnamed source. They didn’t even talk to Ma.

In any case, zero relevance to what I was talking about. I think you responded to the wrong comment.

So you talked to Jack Ma? Lol you read a bunch random speculation about how he’s missing when there’s no proof. The. Try to construct a narrative from it

All this speculation could be laid to rest with egg on the face of western media outlets with just one proof-of-life phone call. The CCP, who he would like to get back in good graces with, would certainly want that. So why hasn’t it happened?

Was Martin Skrehli imprisoned because of expressing his opinion? Or was it because of securities fraud maybe?

He got imprisoned for securities fraud because he expressed his opinion. If he'd kept a low profile he wouldn't have gotten imprisoned.

Looks like you were wrong
