License issue
Questions have been raised about Yum being described as a licensed Securities and Futures Commission representative when his permit was expired. In his weekly column and the website of iMoney magazine and the League of Social Democrats website, he has been described as a representative.
Sex scandal accusations
In mid December 2010 a 29-year-old woman in Sha Tin accused Yum of rape and indecent assault. After the first arrest Yum considered suing a local newspaper and a woman for their comments since this arrest. On 20 December 2010 a 19-year-old girl in Central filed a police report against Yum for sexual assault. This also came at a time after 30 pan-democrats resigned over the dissatisfaction with a leadership meeting with Beijing. The group was extremely fragmented with internal political issues. By May 2011 Yum was off from investigation and accusation by the HK police due to complete lack of evidence.
