Those Jimmy Lai Leaks in Full

By HK staff | Aug 07, 2014

 

By now, you will have read the news about those Jimmy Lai email leaks, in which the famously anti-Beijing tycoon is hamfistedly “revealed” to be a strong supporter of Occupy Central. A known pro-democracy tycoon and owner of a pro-democracy newspaper donating money to a pro-democracy movement? Say it ain’t so! But the revelations don’t end there. Our sources have dredged up a few more jaw-dropping secrets about the media mogul that will shock you to your very core.

An anonymously obtained business card reveals Jimmy Lai to be the founder and chairman of the pro-democracy media organization “Next Media,” much to our dismay. How was he able to get away with this subterfuge for so long? The questions keep mounting.A secretly divulged dossier suggests that Jimmy Lai also has interests in Taiwan, such as the Taiwanese editions of Apple Daily and Next Magazine. See, with what brazenness he has pulled the wool over our eyes for so many years! And we thought his fondness for bubble tea was merely a quirk. A leaked receipt reveals that Jimmy Lai spent $54.60 on a selection of toiletries from Mannings, including, but not limited to, a bottle of mouthwash and some deodorant. This proves that Jimmy Lai may have bad breath and must combat body odor, which clearly discredits him.In a bugged phone conversation, Jimmy Lai told his wife that he was waiting for a cab after a late business meeting—but sources place him inside the toilet of a local bar, using its sound-muffling properties to mask the fact that he was grabbing after-work drinks with colleagues. What a moral degenerate. A leaked email details a top-level conversation between Jimmy Lai and close acquaintances about whether to watch “Guardians of the Galaxy” or “The Fault in Our Stars.” This is plainly code: the “Guardians of the Galaxy” is the military-industrial complex of the US, whereas the “Fault” lies in the five “Stars” of the Chinese flag. The imperialist running dog!An electrocardiogram report apparently stolen from a hospital ward appears to demonstrate that Jimmy Lai has a pulse. All right-thinking people should shun him for his egregious insistence on respiration.

Oh, he is sooooo smeared.
