"FBI agents were still inside Guo's 15-room, $32 million Manhattan apartment at the time the fire broke out, multiple law enforcement sources told ABC News. That's about six hours after he was arrested.

The agents were forced to evacuate and reported the fire to police."

FBI and arrested Chinese billionaire?!

Nothing to see here. I’m sure it was electrical and no records could be found.

Or they brought an electric bike inside ?......that could be the new "careless smoking " or the "overloaded power strip" of 2023.

BACK IN 1927....

"The Sherry-Netherland Hotel fire of April 12-13, 1927 was the first great skyscraper blaze in New York City history. The fire began in the wooden hoist tower near the top of the new $10,000,000 edifice. Wooden scaffolding was in place to facilitate the final phase of construction, i.e. the last fifteen stories.
Visible from a distance of twenty miles the building resembled a just lighted match. From a closer vantage point the experience was much more intense. Pieces of the burning scaffolding, some as long as fifty feet, fell from five hundred feet above the ground. Spectators shouted as drizzling sparks fell on the streets below.
Firemen struggled to reach the inaccessible flames. They carried rolled-up lengths of hose to the hotel’s upper floors. Fortunately the unfinished structure wasn’t occupied."

As noted above...almost one hundred years.
