Wang Fuk Court Owners Take The Buyout, 99.1% Say Yes

Wang Fuk Court owners just voted, and it wasn't close. 99.1% of them said yes to the government buyback. That's basically everyone. You lose your home in a fire that bad, and the government offers you a number instead of years fighting insurers and lawyers, most people take the number. The government also confirmed there's no extension coming. Sign now or don't, but the window closes on schedule.

Meanwhile the couple accused of running a fraud scheme targeting Wang Fuk Court families, people who'd just lost everything, got hit with a departure ban. Can't leave Hong Kong. So picture it: one group of neighbours quietly signing paperwork to move on with their lives, and two alleged scammers stuck here, not allowed to fly off with whatever they made off grief. Different rooms, same building, same week. One side gets closure. The other gets stopped at the airport, basically.
