SFC in Action 4 -Scam Puzzle
The boss of a listed medical beauty company, Rosita Chiang from "Beauty In The Making," raised funds through a new stock allocation method to purchase "On Yin Pharmaceutical," which claimed to have great potential. However, Hong Kong Securities and Futures commission suspected that the latter was just a business-obscure shell company. Investigator Crystal encountered a minor accident and got injured while conducting an on-site inspection of the factory alone. However, her supervisor, Tony, reiterated his disagreement with her overly aggressive approach and revealed his own investigation: Rosita's offer to purchase the company from the person in charge of "On Yin". Mak Kong, was a pretext for stock allocation. Prior to this, Chiang had manipulated "dummy accounts" to boost the stock price and create a false positive image. However, all the accounts were located offshore, making it difficult to gather evidence. Determined, Crystal held on and continued to search through a large amount of data, finally finding a loophole and successfully proving that Rosita Chiang directly caused market misconduct, leaving her speechless despite her previous arrogance. In fact, Tony and Crystal have pre-existing values based on their life experiences. Crystal had a close friend who was deceived and suffered financial and emotional harm, leading Crystal to harbor deep resentment towards scammers. On the other hand, Tony has sailed through many ups and downs in life and has come to understand that everything has its causes and consequences, and there is no need to be overly attached. Their differences in values have become more apparent in their investigative work. How can they successfully reconcile their differences?
