Self-exiled former lawmaker Ted Hui Chi-fung revealed on former lawmaker Eddie Chu Hoi-dick’s podcast that he and his family’s credit card were suspended, accusing Hong Kong authorities of such “political retaliation”. Hui said his online bank account fails to show his credit card information, that he and his family are unable to transact with them. Concerning the police’s embezzlement accusation, he questions that the police cooked up the story for the sake of “character assassination”, wanting to defame him. Hui estimates that more Hongkongers, especially those well-known, will run away from Hong Kong. He hopes to connect them “to do something together and make some impact on Hong Kong.”
