3 Body Problem: Lawyer sentenced to death for Lin Qi murder
The release of Netflix's series 3 Body Problem has been watched millions of times around the globe since its release late last month.
It has even found an audience in China where Netflix is unavailable, sparking much chatter among viewers of the series.
But many fans of the three-book series, credited with propelling China's nascent science fiction genre after its publication in 2008, have also been paying attention to a court room in Shanghai where one of the key players behind the adaptation was sentenced to death just a day after the show's release.
His crime? Murdering a man sometimes dubbed China's "billionaire millennial" - the gaming tycoon Lin Qi, whose company Yoozoo Games owns the rights for film adaptations of the Chinese science fiction epic.
I don’t understand why they arrested him.
He only killed a single person.
He’s got another two left before it becomes a problem.
Boooo
Thanks folks. I’m here all week. Try the fish.
Boooo you.
Maybe he was trying to say boo-urns?
Hah, I see what you did there. Nice one.
I watched a video on this backstory a couple days ago. It's crazy

That’s bizarre wow. What a sick fuck. Like 5 different toxins to ensure whatever they did at the hospital would be fatal. Like they identified one, only to find the measures they took afterwards made (the mercury poisoning they didn’t see at first) worse and that’s what killed him. He made it in his own poison lab… and tested toxins on animals…
This man out here living the line "kill the rich"
I thought it was called the Dark Forest Trilogy.
Dark Forest is book 2. Iirc the trilogy is named Remembrance of Earths past.
I'm conflicted.
What the crap. Goodness.
