probably will see a "confessional" video from him in a week related to some random crime like "verbal assault at a Chinese waitress 10 years ago".

i'm pretty sure they have a lot more real estate than the two listed. Most likely it is under another alias or individual.

For a CFO in a multi billion dollar company, im guessing those two homes they listed are for "backup"

You should protest and stop using any made in China products.

Your fake outrage is hilarious.

Can't they literally just have a cop follow her around, and if they see her getting anywhere near an airport, stop her?

The real test now is to see if she flees. How long do these court proceedings take?

I wonder if the detainment of that Canadian by Chinese has anything to do with it. To be honest, being in detainment for 2 years, if it takes that long, it would be pretty retarded to have a CFO of a multi-billion dollar company conduct business from jail. Her responsibilities are not the same of the average person. On the other hand the flight rise is above that of the average person as well.

They probably would but the judge ordered 7m of it to be cash I read somewhere. In other news, looks like China is striking back:

“Canadian government 'deeply concerned' as China detains ex-diplomat”

How naive to think this woman will play by the rules. Where there is a will and tons of money, there will always be a way for her to make an escape.
