And if people ever want to understand what crony capitalism is this would be a text book example.
Head spy is a good job to have (if you can get it). Total assets of $14.5 Bil is not bad at all.
It would be nice to know here did he stored all the money?
Due to stringent regulations, Chinese prefer storing (ill-gotten) money in mattresses- this (poor) lady lost $65k in all, when termites developed a taste for Yuans.
In all the gallons of ink that will be now spent on this man the most important question will remain un-answered: how many rhinos (and tigers and..) have been laid waste because of the boss’s long term plans to keep his young ladies happy?

Chinese authorities have seized assets worth at least 90bn yuan
($US14.5bn) from family members and associates of retired domestic
security chief Zhou Yongkang, who is at the centre of China’s biggest
corruption scandal in more than six decades, two sources said.
More
than 300 of Zhou’s relatives, political allies, proteges and staff have
also been taken into custody or questioned in the past four months, the
sources told Reuters.
Prosecutors and the party’s
anti-corruption watchdog had frozen bank accounts with deposits
totaling 37bn yuan and seized domestic and overseas bonds with a
combined value of 51bn yuan after raiding homes in Beijing, Shanghai and
five provinces.
Investigators had also confiscated about 300
apartments and villas, antiques and contemporary paintings and more than
60 vehicles, the sources added. Other items seized included expensive
liquor, gold, silver and cash in local and foreign currencies. According to the sources, the seized assets had a combined value of at least 90bn yuan
Zhou, 71, has been under virtual house
arrest since authorities began formally investigating him late last
year. He is the most senior Chinese politician to be ensnared in a
corruption investigation since the Communist Party swept to power in
1949.
“It’s the ugliest in the history of the New China,” said
one of the sources, who has ties to the leadership and has been briefed
on the investigation.
Zhou
rose through the ranks of China’s oil and gas sector before joining the
elite politburo standing committee in 2007, where as domestic security
chief his budget exceeded defence spending. He retired in 2012 and was
last seen at an alumni event at the China University of Petroleum on 1
October.
The first two sources added that more than 10 of Zhou’s
relatives had been detained. They included Zhou’s one-time television
reporter wife Jia Xiaoye, his eldest son from a previous marriage Zhou
Bin, Zhou Bin’s in-laws and Zhou Yongkang’s brother. About 10 officials who held a rank equivalent to at least vice minister were also under investigation, the sources said.
More than 20 of Zhou’s bodyguards, secretaries and drivers
had also been detained, the sources said. Many other family members and
associates had been questioned.
