Jack had kept from the public eye after the China's top market watchdog, began an investigation into alleged anti-competition practices by the e-commerce giant Alibaba, the country also laid out a "rectification plan" for Ma's fintech venture Ant Group. According to a report in TechCrunch, the People's Bank of China, the country's central bank, "summoned Ant Group for regulatory talks on December 26th, announcing a sweeping plan for the fintech firm to 'rectify' its regulatory violations".

Chinese regulators after tightening fintech regulations, ordered an overhaul of Ant and launched a separate antitrust probe into Alibaba within a few days. Hence speculations were rife that the tech entrepreneur is either arrested or placed under house arrest.
