But Xunlei Finance and Yu Fei's assistant also told NetEase that yesterday's incident at Xunlei had nothing to do with Yu Fei (note: Xunlei Finance is a Xunlei Big Data company).
What is the truth? Unicorn Finance tried unsuccessfully to seek confirmation from Xunlei Big Data.
The spotlight on Xunlei and Xunlei Big Data has now fallen on Yu Fei, the Xunlei "executive" Yu Fei, who is actually a god?
What's in store for you?
Duojiao Finance through the query Qixinbao found that Xunlei big data the first major shareholder of Tianjin Xiangcheng Technology Partnership (hereinafter referred to as "Xiangcheng Technology"). See the chart below:
The shareholder information of Xunlei Technology's shareholder with the highest percentage of capital contribution (i.e., the largest shareholder) is Yu Fei, see the chart below:

The Xunlei implosion was preceded by a review:
November 28 must have been an uneventful day for Xunlei (XNET).
First Xunlei issued an announcement that it had formally withdrawn the brand and trademark authorization for Xunlei Financial, Xunlei Easy Loan, Xunlei Small Game, Xunlei Love Trade and other businesses, and asked it to stop any use of Xunlei's trademarks; it also emphasized that a series of the above businesses are operated by Shenzhen Xunlei Big Data Information Service Company Limited (hereafter referred to as Xunlei Big Data) and its subsidiaries.
Found that Xunlei was once the largest shareholder of Xunlei Big Data, and after an industrial and commercial change, Tianjin Xiangcheng Technology Partnership (hereinafter referred to as "Xiangcheng Technology") replaced Xunlei to become the largest shareholder of Xunlei Big Data.
The attitude of Xunlei toward Xunlei Big Data was clear: "I'm just a minority shareholder, so don't play my sign outside.
But Xunlei big data is not vegetarian, not only has not been offline and Xunlei trademark related publicity copy, but also issued an announcement, in addition to responding to Xunlei said the trademark problem, but also directly exposed the fierce news: play guest coins for the disguise of the ICO, illegal fund-raising scam.
"The source of the rumor is Xunlei's net heart company head Chen Lei, is Chen Lei at the same time as the Xunlei CEO of the identity of the convenience of retaliation Xunlei big data company is unwilling to play in the illegal activities carried out by Chen Lei passenger coin illegal unilateral behavior, and is not the Xunlei Group in accordance with the company's corporate governance procedures, prudent decision-making after the breach of contract said. " The announcement also said, "The illegal issuance of Playkoboin activities carried out by Chen Lei, which does not use any blockchain technology, is a scam that tops the trend of violating the documents of the 7 ministries and commissions, utilizing illegal exchanges, illegal group pyramid schemes, ICOs in disguise, and illegal fund-raising."

This Xunlei and "Xunlei" war is destined to have no winners. But who will suffer the worse consequences?
Yingke Law Firm Zang Xiaoli lawyer said: ordinary counterfeiting of other people's trademarks, belong to the civil infringement, need to bear the corresponding civil liability, including stopping infringement, eliminate the impact of compensation for damages and so on, generally does not rise to the level of criminal offenses. If the situation is serious, it will constitute a criminal offense.
Shanghai Jiuze Law Firm partner Zhu Jing, a lawyer, told Duojiao Finance that, according to the content and requirements of the Announcement on Preventing the Risks of Token Issuance and Financing issued by seven ministries and commissions such as the Central Bank and the CBRC's Disposal of Illegal Collections Regulations (Draft for Opinion), if there are still companies that are financing by way of ICO (Initial Coin Offering), it will constitute an illegal absorption of public deposits, and will be considered as a criminal offense. financing, it will constitute the crime of illegally absorbing public deposits or even the crime of fund-raising fraud.
However, industry insiders mostly believe that Chen Lei and Xunlei is unlikely to realize the possibility of ICO through the Playtech Coin, after all, as a listed company and a well-known CEO, in the case of the regulation of a clear ban on the top of the wind, the cost of a larger.
