At the end of August, Ou Chengxiao (known as 'Ou Shen') held a fan meetup in Shanghai titled 'Official Announcement and Truth,' where he publicly accused his collaborator, Dou Xiaodou, founder of 'Jinding Shijia,' of being a scammer, claiming he had fallen victim to a 'pig-butchering scam.' He stated that their original contract had already expired and alleged that the so-called new contract was a patchwork of swapped pages. He also criticized the other party for false advertising, promoting worthless real estate projects, and exposed their operation model of leveraging experts like Lang Xianping and Meng Xiaosu for endorsements.
