Well he's been gone for two months. Disappearances are common in China. He's likely currently residing in what's called a "black jail" in China.

You might hear from him in 4 months after some "re-education", or maybe never again. Who knows.

Jeffrey Epstein's missing? Well that's news to me, I thought he was taking a dirt nap and currently residing in Hell or wherever the evil end up. Are you confusing him with Jimmy Hoffa or something?

It seems not even Jack Ma is safe from Emperor Xi. This happened because he suggested Chinas financial system needed reform. So its impossible to have a dissenting opinion about anything in China it seems.
Also intended to send a message to other wealthy Chinese citizens. 'If it can happen to Ma, we can get you too'.

He was not missing, but murdered in jail, and there is no "real" investigation on his murder.
You happy with that?

Well besides the fact that it has absolutely nothing to do with the topic and besides the fact that you are incorrect (there was an investigation), yeah we are good.

Now back to the topic...and you back to your, whatever it is you do - desperate PRC apologist and defender of tyranny I guess.

From what I have heard, severall people in CCP are not happy about Alibaba being in the fintech business and their monopolistic tactics. By criticizing the financial regulations, then he gave them an opportunity to take him down.

However, instead of doing it the proper way and open up an antitrust investigation, the CCP decided to crush the IPO at the last minute and make Jack Ma missing.

This is quite messed up, and China really needs to stop doing things like this, if it does not want to get stuck in the middle income trap.
