Pentland blasted Michael Fishman for defending the show's cancellation, stating that the cast sold out Barr, who launched their careers.

    Wenzhou Man Exposed as Black Agent in Cambodia

    A man from Wenzhou, Yongjia County, Nanxian Town, known as 'Little Chen', has been exposed as a black agent in Cambodia. He worked as an agent for a 6D company in Phnom Penh, where he often let the company pay for his gambling and drug use, leading to losses for the entire line. He also deceived his subordinates, saying that the boss was unfair, and sold them to work as European and American chat hosts, where they were physically punished and beaten. Later, due to a Cambodian crackdown, the company moved to Laos, and he brainwashed his employees to go with him. However, he has been irresponsible and has not taken care of the employees, including a child from his relative's family who has still not been found. He is also known for pretending to be a rich boss and deceiving teams everywhere, including in Vietnam. Many people, including his fellow villagers, are looking for him to return the money he cheated from them.
