This tech story is surreal even by 2020 standard:
- Tencent sues spicy sauce maker Laoganma for 1m+ USD default marketing payment
- The court froze L’s 2m USD asset based on T’s story
- L said they never worked with T. Turns out 3 hustlers forged L’s chop and cut the deal...
- 3 conmen used fake chop to get T to promote hot sauce in online game. They sold the game coupon came w/ fake laoganma campaign for profit
- Rumor: Tencent employee fell for the the phishing site thru Baidu search engine
- Baidu: we have nothing to do w/ it...
So Laoganma woke up one day realizing its bank account has been frozen & it’s selling hot sauce in Tencent video game for a year with no apparent reason cuz Ocean’s 3 pulled the weirdest con for online game coupons
It's even more surreal when you see the video game(GKART)'s laoganma-themed costume and the hot sauce jars sitting on the desk of those live-streaming hosts
