Jailed Birmingham Soccer Team Owner Shows China Shadow Bank Link

Over two decades, Carson Yeung says he transformed himself from an apprentice hairdresser in Hong Kong into a successful stock picker worth millions of dollars.

His love of gambling took him to Macau and private rooms reserved for high-stakes baccarat. It also led him to invest in the Neptune VIP Club, a gambling syndicate in the only Chinese territory where casinos are legal. That bet paid off. Yeung’s expanding fortune afforded him many Western luxuries: a Maybach car, a London apartment, even an English soccer team.
