Two days ago we introduced you to "the rich kids of Vancouver" for whom the most important decision in any given day is whether to spend half a million dollars on a new Lamborghini or on an investment such as "two expensive watches or some diamonds."

at a Lamborghini dealership last month in Vancouver, British Columbia
We now introduce you to someone who may be one of these rich kids' dad. Or rather was, because Gang Yuan, a 42-year-old mining tycoon is no longer alive. His corpse was found chopped into 100 pieces in his Vancouver home.
Gang Yuan's dismembered body was found at a West Vancouver home.
According to a civil lawsuit, Yuan came to Canada in 2007 with permanent resident status and made his money by investing in real estate and Saskatchewan farmland, in the process becoming the owner of a at least one abandoned multimillion-dollar Vancouver home... and much more.

As The Province reports, Yuan has been linked to a government corruption scandal in southwestern China. He is also a shining example of how most of the billions in hot money flooding Vancouver real estate funds are sourced: illegally. This story helps to shed some light on the origina of at least a modest amount of that money.
The scandal led to a 19-year jail term for Yunnan province official Lin Yunye. Yunye was jailed last November for selling $234 million in state mining assets to a number of businessmen from whom he accepted tens of millions in bribes - including gold bars, luxury watches and rhinoceros horns.

lol
was not disappointed with the many funny posts I figured this thread would have :)
It’ll buff right out!
As funny as the posts are - this was some guy’s life.
Although he sounds like he was an underhanded thieving crook. Maybe even had people killed too. And whoever he pissed off sure sent a message.
I wonder if the guy with the samurai sword did it one piece at a time. Start with the fingers and toes. Then the ears, nose etc. Pretty ghastly to think about it.
I’m reminded of the scene in “Unforgiven” where Little Bill is whipping the guy trying to get the correct names of his accomplices out of him (Eastwood and the kid).
“Okay - now I’m going to start really whipping you. Not gentle like before.”
I know!!! not gentle like before!! that was scary.
3 things I’ve hated at first and then LOVED:
Unforgiven.
GnR
Cindy, the redhead I dated and should have stayed hating :)
My pop died when I was young, but he made me and my brother promise never to take jobs from his brothers.
He loved them, and the jobs were staggeringly high paying on the piers and as a lawyer for my brother, but he knew once you were in, you were in.
I still should have taken the job looking back, lol.
“Cindy, the redhead...”
You were on that thread too!?
lol. Yeah, reminded me of her.
boy did she destroy me lol.
took about a year to recover.
Puzzling...
or Hu Ge
For a femme fatale, Vivian Zhang.
And I guess that was your accomplice cut up into all those pieces. And those three people in Vancouver. And for what? For a little bit of money. There’s more to life than a little money, you know. Don’tcha know that? And here ya are, and it’s a beautiful day. Well. I just don’t understand it.
Meat puzzle
“Law Abiding Citizen” (2009)
I would go see a movie like this. So long as they didn’t dissolve into predictable Soap Opera too early,i.e. the Spanish dramas or Telenovelas. I enjoy the Big Screen experience a few times a year. I don’t look at much TV anymore.
Sometimes, money is just money, ya know what I mean?
This gal here, she just had one of those big old pocketbook purses, big enough to store all her ladies stuff in it.
I think some banks are required to tattle to the Government if you make cash deposits over a certain amount.
That’s where you break the lump sum into smaller amounts, a deposit into numerous banks in the area. Not that I’ve ever done it!
What is grisly and bizarre song! I thought Paul Mac was bad with “Maxwell Silverhammer”. ELP gave us some great progressive rock back then, music that still resonates today.
I include Pink Floyd , Frank Zappa and King Crimson in that group.
ouch
Just rub done dirt on it son!
