The Dimple Goddess and Her Pyramid Empire

Former actress Zhang Ting and her husband Lin Ruiyang built a massive business empire through their brand TST (Tin's Secret), using a micro-business model that leveraged celebrity endorsements to recruit millions of agents. The couple faced a significant legal crisis in 2021 when authorities investigated them for running a pyramid scheme, leading to the freezing of billions in assets amid allegations of product safety issues and exploitative practices. However, they successfully had the case dismissed in 2023 by exploiting procedural loopholes and jurisdictional technicalities, allowing them to unfreeze their wealth and attempt a business comeback.
