There is an on-going thread with an active discussion on one of the chinese social networking sites. I cannot translate well so the bits and pieces I can parse through insinuates they are trying to and may have found Fried Cat:
http://8btc.com/thread-14566-10-1.htmlInteresting! We really need someone to translate this. Can you drop some more bits, maybe? And what do you mean by 'maybe have found FC?' Like did they rescue him... Do they know the place where he is kept(!)?
I know a very small bit of mandarin from working at BlackBerry, the rest I have tried to piece together myself with translators. Best I can tell there is speculation on that thread that they may have found the location of the stolen miners and / or Fried Cat. It could be a complete guess as well, who knows how much more information is available over there currently?
The boilerplate rumor of the police involved due to stolen electricity and internal company conflict are mentioned there as well. Once someone with much more skill than I possess in this realm shows up they can dissect that conversation and see if it offers any hope. In the end we are now waiting for the board of directors no matter what is revealed in that conversation above.
