If this really is their goal, it’s weird that they are shutting down peer-to-peer payments via messenger. I was under the impression that was one of the main use cases of WeChat. https://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/new

Definitely a +1 for this book. It's a proper page-turner. Just when you think Low has pulled off another ridiculous theft of 9 figure $ sums of cash, he does it again. And again...
