Chinese dealmaker Bao Fan, founder of investment bank China Renaissance Holdings Ltd, has gone missing in the latest disappearance of a top business executive, unnerving investors and sending its stock down as much as 50 per cent on Friday (Feb 17).

This assumes that the Party bothers to explain to Mr. Bao why he was removed from society. Assuming he still is breathing at this point.
