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

Xu Yao, former Yoozoo Games executive, receives capital punishment for the 2020 poisoning of Lin Qi, amid a dispute over business operations.

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.
