Thugs-for-hire take shareholder disputes to extremes in Hong Kong

Eight men were arrested, according to police. Hong Kong is rare among developed markets for incidents of violence involving hired muscle at shareholder events. The closest parallel would be Japan in the 1980s and 1990s, when public company meetings were disrupted by yakuza gangsters demanding payoffs.
