There was never any traitor, and Justin Kyle's desire to find out was absolutely delusional.
And Xia Yu had no intention of giving him time to struggle.
International capital has already flooded into Australia to stir up trouble, and he is also rushing to reap the assets of the Australian Sydney consortium. He needs the assistance of the Wheelock Shipping Company bomb, so he will save every penny!
The Hong Kong Stock Exchange and the Hong Kong Securities Regulatory Commission, his will is the greatest will.
Naturally, he will not hesitate to take action.
In the morning, a real-name report was received from the Jiuding Securities Research Institute.
That afternoon, the CSRC issued a notice of case filing and investigation to Wheelock Shipping, and at 3 pm or so, the investigation team, in the spotlight of everyone's attention, entered Wheelock Shipping in high profile.
When the market closed that afternoon, Wheelock Shipping's market value had fallen even lower than before, to 6.27 billion Hong Kong dollars.
As long as the investigation has no result, the stock price of Wheelock Shipping will definitely not rise.
Although all investments are risky, this risk is too great. It is simply not worth the risk for investors. If they have the time and capital, they can probably make more money by investing in other stocks.
You have to understand that there is no clear legal requirement as to how long it takes for the SFC to come to a result after opening an investigation.
The length of time is affected by many factors, one being the SFC's level of activity and the other being the complexity of the case.
These two are the most crucial. According to the situation abroad, it can be anywhere from a few months to a year or two.
But Xia Yu would not waste so much time.
The CSRC has the real financial reports of Wheelock Shipping Company in its hands. With this, the aimless investigation becomes a straightforward verification, which is really not too difficult.
There are also recordings in hand. Although the Jiuding Securities Research Institute claimed that they were secretly provided by strangers and it was not convenient to find the informant, these evidences are all there, and they are all correct.
The investigation team started their investigation directly with the financial report compilers. Faced with the evidence laid out, all the people involved in the case had their psychological defences collapse, and they honestly explained the situation.
The relevant financial personnel explained the situation of financial report fraud clearly, and all the original materials were also found out, so financial fraud can be determined 100%.
However, the investigation is not over, because the financial personnel are not clear about what happened after the fake financial report was compiled, and only Justin Kyle and Myron Marjorie know.
After analysing the situation overnight, the investigation team went straight to Myron Marjorie, believing that they would be more likely to make a breakthrough with him.
In the closed interview room, there were only four people: the investigation team leader in charge of the interview, the recorder and security officer, and Myron Marjorie.
Myron Marjorie was not sure how far the investigation team had got, so although he was nervous, he put on a calm face.
The team leader simply followed the same line of questioning as before, saying nothing, and directly handed Marjorie the original financial report provided by the finance staff.
Upon seeing this familiar financial report, Marjorie's face instantly changed, and she looked up sharply at the team leader, only to see the latter smiling, but with a sharp gaze that seemed to pierce through people's hearts.
Dense beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and he panicked!
'Myron Marjorie, who do you think will be the one to hand in this financial report?'
The team leader asked with a smile.
Myron Marjorie was at a loss for words, and although he wanted to argue, he didn't know how.
The word that kept popping into his head was 'finished'!
The head of the investigation team crossed his arms, rested his elbows on the table, leaned slightly forward, and said to Marjorie in an oppressive manner, 'Marjorie, don't be lucky. After reading this financial report, you should know that Wheelock Shipping's financial fraud has been exposed. You should be thinking about yourself, not others.'
'You are the vice president in charge of finance. The false financial report was compiled by the people under you, and you are responsible for the most basic review, followed by other responsibilities.'
'According to relevant laws, if the financial statement fraud was completed under duress, out of necessity, and you did not obtain any benefits during the process of financial statement fraud, then if you can actively cooperate with the investigation, it is possible to receive a lighter punishment.'
'At this time, if I were you, I would confess voluntarily and only bear the responsibility I should bear.'
'It's now exactly 9:05 a.m.
'I'll give you five minutes to think it over, and after five minutes, I'll start recording. You will be legally responsible for your words and actions.'
After saying this, the head of the investigation team leaned back in his chair and just quietly looked at him.
The other two people on the investigation team also didn't say anything and looked at Myron Marjorie in the same way.
In an instant, the atmosphere in the interrogation room grew increasingly oppressive. McElroy could only feel her heartbeat becoming clearer and clearer, and she kept swallowing.
With each time the head of the investigation team raised his hand to look at his watch, McElroy became more and more restless, and the beads of sweat on her forehead grew larger and larger, finally trickling down her nose.
McElroy felt like the five minutes had been a century long, and yet also a momentary instant.
As the minute hand on the watch pointed to the 10 position, the head of the investigation team immediately sat up straight and said loudly, 'Okay, the five minutes are up, let's start taking the statement.'
Myron Marjorie felt as if all her strength had been sucked out of her, and she said with a haggard face, 'I will confess everything on my own initiative.'
'It was the CEO Justin Kyle who asked me to arrange for the fake financial reports. I am his subordinate, and I could only carry it out.'
'It happened...'
As Myron Marjorie continued to tell the story, the recorder kept taking notes.
The questioning continued until 1:22 pm, and with Myron Marjorie signing and thumbprinting the transcript, the interrogation finally came to an end.
'Myron Marjorie, thank you for your cooperation. I will take your performance into serious consideration and report it faithfully.'
'Thank you!'
...
As Justin Kyle's right-hand man, Myron Marjorie knew the whole process very well, and even knew about Justin Kyle's subsequent search for the accounting firm of Dainste.
With this material, Justin Kyle had no way to defend himself.
After a hasty lunch at noon, the investigation team directly questioned Justin Kyle at 2:40 pm that afternoon.
After the investigation team directly provided Justin Kyle with copies of all the materials, the psychological defence that the latter had created over the past two days completely collapsed.
In the face of the overwhelming evidence, Justin Kyle could only confess everything honestly and try to mitigate his crimes.
Wheelock Shipping's financial fraud is a serious act that destroys the foundation of market integrity, and it must definitely be handed over to the police. As the company's president, he definitely cannot get away with it.
The interrogation ended at 7:21 pm. Justin Keller had explained everything clearly and the investigation could be declared closed. The investigation team needed to go back and compile a complete investigation report as soon as possible.
On March 2, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange announced the investigation results of the real-name report on the financial fraud of Wheelock Shipping Company.
The financial fraud of Wheelock Shipping Company was true, and the Securities and Futures Commission transferred the case to the police in accordance with the law. The relevant personnel will face legal sanctions.
In this case, at the company level, the CSRC issued Wheelock Shipping Company with an 'Administrative Penalty Notice' and ruled that Wheelock Shipping Company would be fined 11.5 million Hong Kong dollars!
It took less than 6 days from the time the report was received to the time the truth was uncovered, and the efficiency of the CSRC was shocking.
What's even more shocking is that Wheelock Shipping Company actually committed financial fraud, and Jiuding Securities Research Institute actually discovered it, knowing everything about Wheelock Shipping Company.
The share price of Wheelock Shipping Company plummeted again.
The credibility of the Jiuding Securities Research Institute soared, and institutions that had not originally subscribed to research reports came knocking on the door. With the backing of this incident, it is believed that in the future, a single research report from the Jiuding Securities Research Institute will be absolutely enough to shake the capital market, with the influence of a benchmark.
As Wheelock Shipping's share price plummeted, Xia Yu gave the order, and the Australian Jiuding News branch immediately took action, targeting the Australian integrated transport giant Toll Holdings and the Westpac Banking Corporation!
