A man in China, identified as Hong, caused a stir after draining his family’s life savings and resorting to theft to send money to a live streamer for her to call him ‘bro.’
“I didn’t want to meet her; I just wanted to hear her call me ‘brother,’” he quoted in Chinese media.
Initially, he used his family’s savings, living on plain steamed buns, but when they cut off his access to funds, he turned to illegal means.
Working for his family’s hardware business, Hong began stealing copper materials, which he sold to waste recycling stations. His thefts, totaling $316,000, were discovered after a factory noticed the missing copper and alerted the authorities, leading Hong to eventually confess to 40 thefts.
