Exactly what I'm talking about. CCP are now pretending they didn't know / fund these people from the beginning.

It's complicated, the CCP is big, like China is. You simplify it into a monolithic structure, but's it's very much not one, there are factions, geographical divisions, conflicting interests, etc.

You're probably right some people inside the CCP protect those scam bosses, I would not bet an arm that Xi is encouraging it.
