Informed sources indicate that Chen Lei joined Thunder as CTO in 2014, was promoted to CEO in 2017, and was dismissed by Thunder in 2020 on suspicion of duty encroachment. Subsequently, the Shenzhen Public Security Bureau initiated an investigation into Chen Lei and others suspected of duty encroachment.
