Wealthy businessman, Yuan Baojing, was escorted to a lethal injection van and his cremated ashes were delivered to his wife three hours later.
Wow! That's what you get when you cheat, lie and steal in China.
At first, Yuan was spared the death penalty when his wife ponied up $6 billion in oil company stock and gave it to the national government.
Of course, he got that $6 billion in the first place from a large state-owned company. In effect, he just gave it back.
However, before that, he amassed his own fortune by investing the money.
It is said that he was surprised when they showed up to escort him to his execution.
Yep, I'd be surprised, too...if someone told me my wife would get my ashes by this evening.
Isn't this level of stealing on the same level as the Enron guys? What would they do if a lethal injection van were parked outside their houses/jail cells?
It almost makes sense - a little extreme perhaps - but definitely a deterrent of sorts.
What do you think?
