This will expand beyond a “criminal investigation” into a purge and revenge. Divving up the loot (and there is a lot of loot) will encourage even more betrayals and revenge. Is there a leader who can manage to contain/control all this?
The words out of Beijing is that they started to realize that this thing can get out of control, threatening the communist regime itself. They are reportedly trying to reach a deal, between anti-Bo faction and the rest, to contain the fallout. I think they should for their own good. I think nobody in top leadership has enough power to single-handedly carry this purge to the end and prevail.
