周永康
Ye's last social media feed was recorded in September 2013. Chinese-language media reported that Ye rendezvoused with former Chinese domestic security chief Zhou Yongkang in Beijing in November 2013, only two days before the latter was detained for a corruption investigation. In August 2014, Hong Kong based Phoenix Television reported in an "exclusive" that Ye had been detained by the authorities for suspected links to the Zhou Yongkang case.
