A hail of banknotes rained down onto the streets of a working-class neighbourhood in Hong Kong, sending bystanders into a frenzy - but the man who claimed to be behind the stunt was arrested on Sunday.
Bills worth thousands of Hong Kong dollars were seen fluttering to the ground from the top of a building as people tried to grab the falling cash and others filmed the scene on their smartphones. A man who runs a cryptocurrency Facebook page livestreamed the prank on Saturday in the Sham Shui Po district. "I wonder if any of you believe money could fall from the sky?" he said, before the camera panned to the top of a nearby building which saw flurries of HK$100 bills flying down like confetti.
Wong Ching-kit - known online as Coin Young Master - said in a FB post that he wanted to "help the poor by robbing the rich". But the 24-year-old was arrested for causing disorder in a public place after he drove back to the neighbourhood in his Lamborghini. Police said they had recovered about HK$6,000 in HK$100 bills.
