Nobody has been able to reach investment banker Bao Fan for days. It’s not the first time a billionaire has suddenly gone missing. Many of them prepare to flee – and bring their assets to safety.

Not to mention the public. Only one person knows exactly where he is: the state. Such scenarios happen quite regularly in China.
