With selected documents copied on a thumb drive, he moved from the residence where he had been staying for ten days to a venue for meeting the reporters. The place he chose was the five-star, $330 a day, Mira hotel in the Kowloon district of Hong Kong. He checked into room 1014 under his own name and provided the front desk with his own credit card.
