The wiki link said he went to prison and is forbidden from practicing. Why is he tweeting this while wearing the proverbial white lab coat?

clearly he escaped and is tweeting about his new schemes

He only got three years but China changed the laws based on this dickhead so now it's a lot more. In China at least. I'm sure there are plenty of countries where it's only marginally illegal.

Ah, thanks to those clarifying who this schmuck is.

At first I wondered if it was the meme author? Lol at getting your headshot out there. Random Asian scientist? Eeeeeh, tip toeing into racist undertones with the repeat posts.

IRL jackass running unethical and illegal human experimentation? Bring on all the memes and then some.
