      Why conspiracy to defraud? Next Digital was accused of using its site at the Tseung Kwan O industrial area to provide company secretary services without approval of the land lord Science Park, in violation of the land use terms, according to Oriental Dailyhttps://hk.on.cc/hk/bkn/cnt/news/20200810/mobile/bkn-20200810094404165-0810_00822_001.html …

      Amid the arrests, Next Digital told staff not to come to work, and those who were on the way to turn back. But naturally some are already at work and doing a live from inside: https://www.facebook.com/hk.nextmedia/videos/236903034075367/ …pic.twitter.com/aipAqDYCeP
