'3 Body Problem' Exec Sentenced to Death for Producer's Murder

Overview

• Former Yoozoo Games executive Xu Yao was sentenced to death for poisoning Lin Qi, the company's founder, in 2020.
• The murder was motivated by workplace jealousy and a dispute over business operations, following Xu's demotion and pay cut.
• Xu reportedly practiced poisoning on pets before targeting Lin and other colleagues, inspired by the series 'Breaking Bad'.
• The '3 Body Problem' series, for which Lin was an executive producer, debuted on Netflix to 11 million viewers in its first four days.
• Justice served, says Zhao Jilong, VP of Yoozoo's film division, who was also targeted but survived the poisoning.
