Rise of Chinese whizzkid ends in lethal injection – Clifford Coonan

From the Independent (link):

Yuan Baojing‘s remarkable rise from rural poverty to the head of a multi-billion-pound investment group ended with a lethal injection. The stock market whizzkid has been executed for hiring his brother and cousins to murder a policeman turned hitman turned blackmailer.

It’s New China’s Scarface and Goodfellas, with a dash of Wall Street thrown in, and the 40-year-old tycoon’s case has gripped the country’s attention.
