It is said that this cataclysm in Chongqing has to do with a wealthy and influential businessman, Li Junyi (李俊亦), who fled [the country]. Li had [a fortune of] several billion in assets, all taken [seized?], and before he was taken [arrested] he fled on a plane from Chengdu. After this, when Li was overseas, he informed about some secrets (阴事) concerning the anti-vice [campaign in Chongqing]. Some inside stories about Chongqing have also been put in the hands of senior leaders. Li has connections with the Chengdu military district and is an above-board businessman (合法商人).
Yang Haipeng’s original Chinese-language post follows:
据说,此次重庆骤变,与一个落跑富豪李俊亦有关。李拥有数十亿资产,均被充没,在抓捕前,从成都坐飞机逃亡。后,李氏在海外举报打黑阴事,一些重庆内情也为高层掌握。李与成都军区有关,合法商人
