CCK and General Wang needed credibility, and fast. They found it by moving against high-profile figures, under the protection of the Chiang family name. Among those arrested were Du Wei-ping, the son of “Big Ears” Du Yuesheng, the senior-most Green Gang triad boss; “Rice Tiger” Wan Moulin, a close associate of Du; and the managers of several industrial establishments owned by former prime minister (and CCK's uncle, step uncle his stepmother Madam Chiang Kai-Shek's brother) T. V. Soong. Ultimately, the effort failed and the regulations were lifted by end-October and hyperinflation returned with a vengeance.
