    ICAC formally charges Stephen Chan for corruption; TVB orders "mouths shut"

    Yesterday the ICAC formally charged TVB General Manager Stephen Chan and three other people in connection with corruption and conspiracy to defraud of TVB's business deals. As many artists were invited to take part in the the public events involved in the case, there is a high possibility that these artists will have to testify in court. To avoid artists revealing the contents of the case, yesterday TVB issued a statement that artists are to keep their mouths shut and cannot talk about the case to outsiders.

    that has nothing to do with Stephen Chan
    a new person to take over his position does not = no corruption

    it is also said if the big 5 artists answer to the appeal will be the important factors if Stephen can be charged with the corruption

    btw, the current delima about tvb needing to pay $12M to the big 4 records company for the copyright fee was done by the 李寶安 (acting GM of Stephen Chan), his replies to those record companies are consider cocky...so even if Stephen can't be back to TVB, 李寶安 could probably face issues with that...

    also 李寶安 was part of the Growing With Life drama production, asking some unknown mainland artists to be in this series, making the plot old fashioned and low rating...making the executive owner mad...this in return would probably be the reason why she promised Stephen will be back to TVB this week if he goes thru the corruption fine =0
