SFC in Action 4 -Scam Puzzle
Aunt Bing complained to Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission, crying and accusing them of mishandling her case, which resulted in the loss of all her assets. Crystal patiently comforted her, but Tony showed little sympathy and tried to dismiss her. The retail company "Good Day" went public with its acquisition of its competitor, "Nikkou House," causing a significant increase in the latter's stock price. However, the investigation team discovered unusual large-scale transactions that occurred before the news was announced. They found Fong Kai Ming for questioning. Fang seemed innocent, but Crystal discovered someone named Hong Tsz Lok in his daily activities, who had financial dealings with him. It turns out that Hong Tsz Lok, a senior business manager at Good Day, borrowed money from Fong Kai Ming and took advantage of the insider information to make a quick profit. Tony sympathized with Hong's situation and felt sorry for him, which puzzled Crystal. She couldn't understand why Tony had such different attitudes towards Aunt Bing as a victim but Hong as a wrongdoer, leading to an argument between them. However, Crystal had no idea that Aunt Bing's reason for complaining to Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission and wanting to recover her money since she had fallen for another online investment scam and even resorted to borrowing from loan sharks, hoping to make up for her previous losses all at once!
