April 7, 1955 - Cheung Tze-keung
Known by the flamboyant nickname "Big Spender," he operated across Hong Kong and mainland China during the 1990s, orchestrating a series of high-profile kidnappings that targeted some of Hong Kong's wealthiest families — including the son of billionaire Li Ka-shing. The audacity and scale of his operations, combined with his ability to evade authorities across jurisdictions for years, made him one of the most consequential organized crime figures of the era.
