Barristers in Hong Kong pointed out that the police have to explain why they froze these assets which involves Hui's lifelong savings of several million Hong Kong dollars.

Ted Hui clarified in his Facebook post that all crowdfunding funds are deposited in a lawyer's account, which has nothing to do with his and his family's accounts:

"As for the funds raised in the crowdfunding campaign I initiated last year for private prosecutions against police brutality, they have been deposited in the account of the lawyer's office, and the audit report has been disclosed. The funds have nothing to do with my personal and family's accounts."

Hong Kong Police claimed on December 6 that they were looking into a suspected violation of National Security Law and money laundering, accusing the suspect of embezzling the crowdfunding funds through the bank accounts of the person's relatives. They also accused Hui of colluding with foreign forces to endanger national security.

As Hui said in his Facebook post earlier: "Certainly the #CCP and the SAR government can continue to condemn and accuse me, foreign politicians, and the whole world, but at the same time, the world clearly knows who is representing justice. The "Wolf-Warrior Diplomacy" will only be denounced by the world. As for the freezing of my persona and family's accounts, it is clear that the regime is using economic oppression as political retaliation, and collective punishment against my family members to persecute the opposition."
