Current Events > Face mask distributer imprisoned in sex shop by gangsters.

(+) Yeah! (+)

According to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, in the months of April and May of this year a high-ranking member connected to the Yamaguchi-gumi yakuza group placed an order for over 2.8 million masks from a trading company in Tokyo.

The government had already placed a ban on face mask resale which would clear out a lot of the yakuzas law-abiding competition and give them a near monopoly on the face mask resale black market.
However, something far more powerful than government regulation thwarted their plan in the end: market forces. It wasnt long until manufacturers caught up with demand and before anyone could say my glasses are fogging up, Japan was drowning in a sea of face masks. This stuck the yakuza group with millions of tiny cloths that were rapidly hemorrhaging value.

So, they did what any organized crime group would do in this situation and allegedly began threatening an executive of the trading company to take them all back. The exec, who is in his 20s, must have been a hard nut to crack, because when regular threats didnt work they allegedly held him against his will inside a sex shop for 11 hours.

After the suspects relentlessly insisted that the 70 million yen in masks he sold them were defective for hours on end, the young exec somehow found a way to escape his sex dungeon and went straight to the police. The cops then swooped in and arrested the boss and two other yakuza members.

The suspects all deny the charges against them and the police are currently investigating all the details of the case.
