A mainland Chinese man lost 500,000 yuan in cryptocurrency investments. After his complaints went unanswered, he traveled to Hong Kong to attempt suicide but was intercepted.

CoinFeed reported on May 16 that, according to Hong Kong's Oriental Daily News, a 34-year-old mainland man had previously lost approximately 500,000 RMB in investments on a cryptocurrency platform and had repeatedly complained to the platform without success. On May 14, the man posted on the platform that he planned to commit suicide in Hong Kong. Following an investigation, law enforcement intercepted him at a fast-food restaurant that afternoon, seizing a lighter and suspected gasoline from his person. He was arrested on charges of "possession of articles with intent to damage property" and is currently being detained for investigation. No one was injured in the incident.
