If this rumour is true, the joke will be on the suckers who give their money to the lawyers. As if they can have any influence about what the Hong Kong government/immigration is going to do. Almost definitely a case of shady lawyers seeing an opportunity to fleece some desperate and naive people.
Those posters above asking on PPRUNE for people to give them an account to put money into, OMFG hahahaha!! What could possibly go wrong there? You guys are obviously in the wrong job and should have been brain surgeons or rocket scientists.
