You’ve got horrible taste. This seems like a dumb, fun movie that would probably only be possible with Ryan Reynolds.
OhYeah

No, it’s Wreck-It Ryan.
Looks fun. What more does anyone need in a movie?
Your ass is showing. It’s pretty clear you don’t have a clue about what goes on in China. There is definitely corruption, but people hardly get fuck you rich from it. Despite what you think, there’s a lot of generational wealth that was gained from eminent domain expansion by the Chinese government in the nineties and…
There are way more poor people than rich you moron.
“But is not the gratification from doing something cool on your own better than buying your way there?”
“What about my experience being an asshole?”
The answer to this should be obvious - America has been buying their way there for decades in just about everything else other than gaming.
“The friend—er, defendant—had been loaned the character and reportedly tried to sell it back to the man for 388,000 yuan ($55,138).”
Lol at thinking he got 1.4m on a Chinese government salary
He is in China. His parents are likely poor.
The original article mentions it several times as US$1.4 million, so one can only assume that the guy actually spent that much money on a video game character instead of buying up real estate in San Francisco or Vancouver.
Haha.. No. China has plenty of wealthy people. More likely he’s spoiled and has rich parents like SSReset said. It’s literally an invasion of spoiled brat in Canada, Australia, and especially US universities.
According to the linked headline (which you could’ve checked), it’s in U.S. dollars
I’m not sure a 198K USD character is really any better...
Almost nothing in this article makes any sense, and I don’t mean the write up... :P
In a world with lots more digital assets I am kinda impressed how well done this case was.
Obviously the lending person (lets call him 1.4Million Moron or MM) shouldn’t lose his asset just because his friend is an idiot or a scam artist (SA). Meanwhile the buying party (BP) should also be compensated as they were…
The only positive I can say about it is that in my opinion, the ruling was reasonably fair. I mean, I don’t give the faintest shit about any of these people and do completely agree that anyone spending $ on a video game character (to say nothing of these sums) is ...well, an idiot.
from his wealthy family who probably made their money taking advantage of China’s cheap labor force and laughable human rights / working standards
Probably through his parents and laundered it into real estate in British Columbia Canada or something.
