This guy is the keyman in the China bitcoin industry. http://www.8btc.com/qqagent

He's one of the early investors of Asicminer and the one who introduced Rockxie to FC.
In this interview he said he's still holding most of the Asicminer shares.

Yet he's also the CEO of Bitmain (Antminer)!!! That's why these two companies have a
good relationship. FC actually just sent the gifts to Bitmain.

Huh, interesting! I remember FC talking about some still unresolved "conflict of interest" half a year ago or so. This could be it. I mean a shareholder heavily invested in two big mining (hardware) companies...

Wasn't the conflict of interest discussion in regards to rockxie/rockminer?

I don't think so... Rockxie was/is a big shareholder, true. But I think the cooperation between AM/RM was pretty decent and close to this day (AMHASH). There were talks about dubious unresolved conflicts of interests well after RM I believe... and there were rumors about Bitmains chips resembling the dropped 'gen 2' chips... We could be on to something here...
