Chapman To: Haven’t Owed Money in 15 Years
Rumoured to be Property Owner Despite Owing HK$10 Millions
Chapman To allegedly owes HK$10 millions and still owns real estate property. He and his wife Kristal Tin is moving from a large property to a small property which indicates their financial predicament.

Yesterday, a magazine article pointed out that Chapman owes Peter Lam and Alfred Yeung a combined total of HK$9 million. Luckily, Andy Lau is forgetting about past bygones and lent Chapman HK$1 million to help with the financial woes. Kristal is standing by Chapman and willing to work through the hard times.

Yesterday, reporters wanted to confirm with Chapman about his million dollars debt and need to borrow money to get through daily life. Chapman denied his debt and said: “If the debt rumours were true, I would mind it. But I don’t mind these rumours.â€

Nice to see an article that looks at the bigger picture of this scandal, and the culture in which it took place. Although I had to giggle at that cleverly reads-two-ways "Canadian pop star" headline while skimming it at a convenience store on the way to work this morning.

Since the Feb. 21 press conference, the question that remains is: can Chen ever come back? Many say no, but Shuyu Kong believes many people were won over by his contrition. "He apologized very sincerely," she says, "and lots of people, at least in the media, sympathize and forgive him."

I guess Mr. Kong must've been impressed with Chen's sincerity in that Hypebeast interview a couple weeks back as well!
