Yep, most likely aligned with Jiang Zemin's group. You can bet that a banker that did the identical things, but was allied with the Xi Jinping faction would still be sitting pretty. Not sure what will happen to Ma. Maybe he'll serve as the shining example to all other Chinese entrepreneurs that they'd best keep their mouths shut, and that even mild criticism of the CCP will not be allowed.
