A series of violent photographs claiming to be leaked from a gangster’s mobile phone have become an online sensation. The pics show a young (but portly) Chinese man showing off his love for stacks of cash, German sports cars, parading around topless and dishing out savage beatings.

The collection was anonymously uploaded to Reddit under the heading “Pics from a Chinese gangster’s phone.” They have been viewed more than 4.5 million times in less than two days, attracting interest from around the world.

Here is the gallery description:

In the first pictures he is seen calmly posing in a living room next to a coffee table loaded with cash. Appearing shirtless in most of the images, the man’s tattoos almost blend in with the patterns on his sofa. Later on a number of pictures appear to show the brutal beating of another man – with pliers seemingly used on the terrified victim’s fingers. Other photos show the man driving his Porsche Cayenne and relaxing with his designer Chow Chow puppy.
