Chinaman Receives Death Penalty Because Of Ants

More than 10,000 people signed over 100,000 contracts with Wang`s company before the investigation started.

Wang Zhendong was sentenced to death because of cheating his fellow-citizens, on which he made around 387 million dollars, selling them ants at a price much higher than the real one.

Namely, in certain parts of China, black ants are used as a tea or liqueur supplement and allegedly help in treating arthritis and other ailments.

Wang developed a business of selling to customers packets of ants at a price of 1,300 dollars, although their real value was a few dozens lower.
