Founder of the video player 快播 (QVOD), widely used to watch pirated films and pornography until it was shut down in 2014. In 2016 a Beijing court jailed him for spreading obscene material for profit.
Over a million people watched his 2016 trial live online. When it came out that the video site 乐视 had reported 快播, fans also mocked Lay's crisps, 乐事, for the same sound. Out of prison, he launched an anonymous chat app named 马桶 MT, 'toilet'.
