Came across this New York Times article  via latest SD Times article by Allen Holub.

In short, David Ji, the Chinese-American electronics entrepreneur, co-founder of Apex Digital was kidnapped by his vendor Changhong, a state-owned company. This is simply amazing. 

"

Just after breakfast on Oct. 23, he answered his door at the Grand Skylight Hotel in Shenzhen. Seven men in civilian clothes identified themselves as police officers from Sichuan, 500 miles to the west. They interrogated Mr. Ji for most of the day. He was told he had committed fraud, though the charges were not spelled out and they had no warrant, according to the account compiled by people sympathetic with him.

Late that afternoon, Mr. Ji was taken to a private dining room, where a Changhong executive played host for a banquet, complete with champagne and abalone. The Changhong executive raised his glass to the policemen, congratulating them on their "pursuit and apprehension" of Mr. Ji.

Mr. Ji objected, saying he had never been on the run, according to the record of his detention. He was told not to speak for the rest of the meal.

The officers then took him to the airport for a flight to Sichuan. Changhong purchased all eight seats in the first-class section, so the group had the cabin to itself.

In Sichuan, he was handed over to Changhong. The company cordoned off a floor in one of its guesthouses and barred the windows, a makeshift jail. Guards kept watch. A television was left blaring day and night. For four days, Mr. Ji barely slept.

On the fifth day, he was put on the phone with a lawyer named Charlie Wang, known as Wang Xiaolin in Chinese, of Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft, a white-shoe American law firm that Changhong had retained. Mr. Wang, who was based in Washington, D.C., told Mr. Ji that he had committed fraud and that his only way out was to sign documents that would help Changhong recover missing funds. Exhausted and afraid, Mr. Ji agreed to study the documents, the record of his detention says.

He was then presented with a stack of legal papers the size of a mini-bar. They pledged all of Apex's assets, real property, trademarks and bank accounts as well as Mr. Ji's personal assets to settle the claimed $470 million debt. The documents granted Changhong power of attorney to review Apex's books and remove Mr. Hsu from his position. In effect, he signed away his stake of Apex to Changhong.

Mr. Ji initially balked. A guard then asked, "Do you want this pen, or do you want your hand?" The guard made a motion of chopping off his hand. Mr. Ji took the pen."

Check it out. This is my favourite . I love the part where W does his act and is way out of sync. Good work.

More song clips can be heard here. I like numbers 1,15,16,17,18. Awesome.
