His Douyin account, the Chinese-language version of TikTok, flaunted the excesses of his life in a remote corner of Myanmar by the border with China: Bentleys and Lamborghinis, rare cigars and private jets. When the 27-year-old partied at the multistory glass-walled nightclub he owned in a region called Kokang, he’d throw crisp Chinese yuan bills into the crowd.
