Disappearance

On November 18, 2015, it was reported that Fung had disappeared.[4][5] Guotai Junan International's shares had fallen as much as 17% when it first announced about Yim's disappearance and it had appointed a temporary replacement.[6]

Guotai Junan International issued a statement saying Yim had returned after assisting in certain investigations and "neither Yim nor the company were the subject of the investigation".[7] Yim had resumed his duties thereafter.[8] The mysterious nature of Yim's disappearance coincided with a period when the government was focusing on the financial sector in its anti-corruption crackdown.[9]
