A Chinese man was recently sentenced to three years and three months in prison and fined 10,000 yuan ($1,400) for repeatedly spiking a colleague’s drink with a ‘truth serum’ to steal their work plans.
Chinese media recently reported the strange case of a Shanghai man who ended up in prison for reportedly mixing a ‘truth serum’ in a workmate’s drink on multiple occasions so he could find out his work plans. The man, surnamed Li, allegedly came across the truth serum during a business trip and was intrigued by the vendor’s claims that only a few drops could untangle anyone’s tongue and reveal all their secrets. Li bought the miracle product and decided to use it on his colleague, Wang, whose secrets he wanted to learn.
