Are they same people? Rong Zuan Dai, is not Patrick Dai, they just shared the same family name. No doubt that the same people, because this p2p lending scam is the largest case in China.
the crypto community world is still very small, so anyone with surname/given name Dai has a some good chance of being the same person.
Qtum will be able to verify this, or verificable directly from the SCMP company.
