The former director, Eito, ran away after losing a debt document worth approximately 500 million yuan during his practice. As a result, the law firm incurred 500 million yuan in debt. Since the law firm operated as a partnership, he was required to bear unlimited joint liability.

The executing judge's name was surprisingly Kagekazu Kobayakawa, a former competitor from his school days, and it seemed that the judge intended to humiliate him with this action.
