Why should this be a surprise to anyone in this business? This industry are full of low lives from both sides, there are worst things than this happening in the "Toy Industry" every day. I was in this business a long time ago and I had to get out because I couldn't stomach the type of people I had to deal with on a day to day basis.
All these things happen because the westners in the business are too lazy to follow things to the end and are usually bad judges of character of the local people. The local people willing to work in the toy industry of Hong Kong are usually corrupted by a long bad tradition which they would be shut out businese if they do not "join the gang ".
Fiction writers would not dare to repeat some of the true stories in the toy business as the facts would seem too far-fetched.
Ask Marvel this Question - Why did you pay over the money in advance? Why didn't you say to Hsieh (I actually know this man personally) "I see the molds and tools then you see the cheque" , because you were paying a ransom
