 Okay, so this is the case that everybody on the internet is talking about right now. Yeah We got to talk about the horrific case involving Abby Choi in Hong Kong This is something that a lot of people hit me up to talk about I did not want to talk about it originally But at the end of the day, man, I mean we somebody's got to contribute something to this conversation, right? Yeah, yeah, and I want to have a reasonable conversation about it guys in this video. We are not playing detectives We are not playing investigators. I'm not going to try to connect the dots and do this and this I don't You know what we're talking about in this video is why so many people are intrigued by it the reasons why this is such big global news And consuming a lot of people's conversations right now And especially in the asian world particularly in the chinese world particularly in the hong kong kentanese and what can you Maybe learn from it or take away from it. We'll talk about all that you guys know us We try to do a good job as much as possible. So please hit that like button And I guess David starting off with some internet reactions comments I mean the internet reaction was like man, what about the kids like there's all these media stories coming out about this Coming out about that But what about the kids and obviously that's going to be lost in it in the sense that you know That's the humanistic angle that comes way later and is almost more handled in a private matter But obviously, you know the details are so gruesome and sensational. It almost like is overlooked Yeah, for sure. I mean, I think the kids are I'm sure going to be traumatized by this for sure for for life. You know, uh, it's such a Horrific thing and again, we're going to spare you the details We'll leave a link down below if you guys want to follow the details We are not going to get into them though Um, somebody said that the chinese media or chinese language media had a lot more details than the english media had Obviously something is happening in the east in hong kong with a hong kong socialite abby choy From a billionaire family from high non That's going to be like all those details are going to be more circulating. I guess in the Chinese language. Oh, there's going to be way more details about her family Her husband's family and her ex-husband's family and what they were connected to the companies out there because obviously in the english news They're not really going to be covering like All the businesses that they had and stuff like that. So yeah, I guess so. Yeah, I mean it makes sense But yeah, I do think that that it changes it for the western people because the western people They're just going to consume whatever the media company's put out Which is more than likely and i'm not really blaming them It is what it is I guess we're in an age of media where you just make clicks and make money But there's sensational headlines without delivering the details, right? I think I think Possibly the media is writing the stories in a certain way to get you hooked I saw some headlines that were like way too graphic and i'm like, yo guys What are you guys doing like this is not even news it is what it is Um, the next comment was man, this is like worse than a movie Is this like a steven king novel mixed with like crazy rich asians like what is going on here? Some people were talking about this this reminds them of this movie the untold story that came out in hong kong in 1993 That was based off a real incident from 1985 Like people were just like and I think that that's honestly why this is getting covered so much because literally andrew And i'm not making light of this at all It's literally when you read it and you follow it it plays out like steven king mixed with crazy rich asians Yeah, because uh, you know, we're talking about the elite class of people here and I think generally when you think of like Bad stuff happening. I don't know you just imagine it's more for the middle class a little middle class You don't think it usually touches the upper echelon of society and we're talking about between hong kong and china and mainland china All these businesses there's a lot of money to go around for sure The next comment was like, uh, basically, you know your classic kind of culture wars a lot of people had a lot of Jokes we cannot post those jokes, but like about you know, chinese eating everything and blah blah blah blah And then other people being like oh, yeah coming back and being like what about jeffrey dolmer? What about jeffrey dolmer and i'm almost like yo, where are we at as a society right now? We're just comparing Like cannibal let me tell you this man. I think every Culture has its weirdos and every like the west is not Is is no stranger to weird stuff and and for sure age is not either so anytime. There's a lot of people Moving around doing a lot of things with money or technology or media There's gonna be weird stuff man There's weird stuff since honestly the beginning of time, but maybe we're more hyper aware of all the weird little Yeah, plot charts that are happening around the world obviously in this age of information Somebody said you know no matter how much technology or human advancements that people make we're still just human And we're subject to being pure evil Yeah, no the dudes who pulled this off are evil. It was not a crime of passion of rage of spontaneity It was definitely a planned out organized thing Involving multiple people so honestly they're terrible human beings and they need to get the maximum punishment Of course this one. I think I want to say more came from the chinese world Uh, somebody said uh, this is why you have to marry at your own financial level in society Because obviously if you guys know the story abby choy came from a billionaire family She married a guy who was much much poorer than her Divorced him and then got quasi married to a new billionaire guy And that's kind of like what caused this piece of basically people were saying like it's a class thing or a social stratum Well, basically the ex-husband who Ended up carrying out the horrific crime with his team They wanted something from her and assets from her that she was going to get from her new billionaire husband Essentially, this was a story of greed and evilness And uh, somebody just said man clearly the hong kong police is corrupt since the dad never went to jail on the original car Charges he got when he was a police sergeant or chief and Obviously her ex-husband has had multiple warrants out on his on him and he never got arrested for him Yeah, no, I I div do you think that this case is high profile enough that it reached, uh, the global You know platforms and that it's about Elite billionaires that maybe this might trickle down and cause some type of change within like The police structure of hong kong. Do you think I mean sometimes when things are like on this level it does make the structures think Oh, should we do something different or do we got to like do something else like what? It's making us look bad to me thinking about how I believe that system is structured The change wouldn't as much come from the bottom up It would become from the bottom to the media the media alerts someone way at the top And somebody way at the top trickles down to punish the people who are involved whether that was letting off the uh ex-husband's father who was somehow like Should have been in jail and and obviously the ex-husband should have been in jail. Um, anyway, let's get into the takeaways Andrew, um people love drama and this is like I said a real life horror story Honestly when you get into the details and I do not encourage you to do so unless you are the type of person Who's like you're into that type of stuff? And um, I guess what I would say is like it would it would take an author to write this like a professional author to write These layers. Yeah, I remember when People had sent this to us the last couple days and I saw the headline and the thumbnail and I was just like I read it and I was like, all right, man What kind of mood am I in right now to delve into this because you're trying to protect your energy Yeah, I was like, what time of the day is this is in my is this 2 a.m Because maybe I don't want to read this before I go to sleep. Oh man Right. All right. And then do I want to do this right when I wake up to to set the tone? And I'm like, nah, let me like chill on this and then I'm gonna go through it slowly because this is not something That I need blasted in my but it was crazy because there's people I know who don't even follow anything from asia that are asian-american, right? Or they're kind of like, you know, just concerned within their own life and their friends They were talking about it. That's what I knew when everybody like that doesn't even talk about things was talking about Yeah, like and this is the unfortunate thing is that this might be one of the first Asian news stories that you follow of the month like let's say even if you're asian or non asian This might be the first asian news story. You're even keeping up with this year Right, right because you're not really tapped in or interested like that are engaged You're not tapped into all the other good stuff or the other like, you know bad stuff You're just this is it right and this is your exposure and I'm like, oh great now Hong Kong or Asians are being painted a certain way, you know, whatever. Um, I think that obviously to be fair Andrew, I guess to play the devil's advocate I can see why people are following it. It involves billionaires socialites high society police corruption Family betrayal There's just a lot of things happening here that obviously if a similar incident occurred in the low class or the middle class It wouldn't have all these layers to make it so spectacular, right? We're talking about there's less than a thousand billionaires on earth In this case involved two families that were billionaires and not only is what she from a billionaire family She's also like an influencer and kind of like a model She's on the cover of vogue Hong Kong. Yeah, so she had followers and she was a k.o. Well as they would say in asia key opinion leader and Yeah, I mean You know, I'll tell you this and this is kind of a weird thing But I guess there are so many people out there with followings now That there are gonna be crimes and cases that involve them because now there's just so many people who have followers, right? Well the amount of people who are high profile probably at least like 50 if not 100x I mean there was a case in florida, right where the girlfriend stabbed the boyfriend and she had like Instagram following and then only fans and all this stuff So it's just gonna happen It's gonna happen again because everybody has these social media profiles. Um point number three andrew this thing statistically on a Per 100,000 person level like statistically it's still very low in asia, but it seems like when it does happen It's like horrific. Yeah, there was cases this came out of japan too and obviously the japan is known for You know, there's some sort of stereotype that like when it does happen. It's very weird. I think terrible things happen It's it's weird and yeah Yeah, yeah in cultures or places where basically like let's say the homicide rate is super low That maybe each Time it does happen It seems a little bit more weird because those people really really want it to happen If you think about it in america, there's actually a lot of like Homicides that happen like a lot of people die all the time and there's certain cities that like do it It's happening at an alarming rate because we have guns right and then everybody like dies so quickly But it's not as weird. Yeah, it's not weird Weird or on a percentage basis on a ratio distribution sense, right? But I but I think you know every country in every culture has its psychopaths and has its weirdos And has its danger honestly, I kind of question like the publicity that all this stuff gets I don't know You know, I don't want to be a doomsday person I just don't know if it's super helpful if like all the details get made in a Five movies two tv shows and it's commoditized because obviously news outlets need to commoditize the clicks Guys, I I follow media a lot There's no possible way that it is good that this many people are reading this thing So so don't read it. Don't look into it. Just watch this video if you didn't know about it Now, you know something happened. Don't worry about it. Move on with your day Point number four is it just made me sad. It made me feel in a weird way I don't know how to describe it a little bit of shame, you know, like our families from hong kong I never want to see a place that uh, you know, we went there a lot growing up too and it's like, uh It's like man I don't know if I know it always had a cd pass But it felt like it got cleaned up and maybe it's going downside again Or like maybe it was always this way and it was just a segment of society We're not exposed to you know, the dad was uh the security uh forensics lead at wong kong everybody knows mong kong is like a very uh more gang infested zone and like It's just like it made me feel I was like man. Nobody wants There a place like this. You're supposed to be your high society people that acting like this Dude, let me tell you this man It sucks because like the only media and the news that you're gonna get out of hong kong over here is like It's about the protest. It's about this You know, you're not hearing all the good things because as a like if you're a non-hong kong person Or you're a non-asian person You don't give a crap about the good stuff that's happening in hong kong You just want to hear all the sensational stuff all the crazy. Maybe you don't follow that much news per year, right? So that's your two things that you paid attention to this year. Last but not least man. I guess everybody What what what should people take away from it? I mean again, i'm not playing a detective or investigator, but you know, just watch your circles around you, right? Obviously uh The people around this woman abby They happen to be not good people. Maybe maybe they tricked her or whatever or they were good people and then they turned bad But i'll tell you this man. They these are not like it you gotta watch who you're around And that basically this was not a crime out of rage and passion. This was planned out and so it's pure it's evil There are certain outcomes that are like statistically way more probable when you run in certain circles than other circles Yeah, that is the truth. Yes. That's just the truth. It's like if you want to avoid being shot you would not hang out With certain types of people that are involved in that type of scene, right? There are people who have guns, right? You know, that's but I think that no one would expect that this happens. So I think it's pretty sad and uh You know, but it is a horrific Sensationalized story that people love talking about and that's why people are talking about it for sure And um, yeah, we just wanted to have a level-headed discussion about it and not get into the details Obviously, you know, I'm sure you could go a million other videos and a million other articles That can give it to you the way you want if you were looking for something sensational Let us know in the comment section below. What do you think? What are the takeaways? Um, keep it civil and until next time we to hop out boys. We out. Please
