A former executive at Yoozoo Games was sentenced to death on Friday in the 2020 poisoning of the founder of the high-profile Chinese gaming company, which has links to Game of Thrones and the new Netflix series, “The Three-Body Problem.”

Xu Yao poisoned the food of company founder Lin Qi in December 2020 because of a dispute over the running of the business, the Shanghai First Intermediate People’s Court said. The Hollywood Reporter, citing local media, reported at the time Lin was allegedly sickened by a cup of poisoned pu-erh tea.

    If the guy even did it. It’s not like the CCP is all that concerned with justice.

      Not an unfair thing to suggest. I was just talking about a CEO facing punishment. Unless you fuck over rich people in the U.S., you’re fine.

      I suppose technically this guy fucked over a rich person…
