Loss from Keangnam scandal totals W1.1 tril.
By Yoon Ja-young
Lenders, subcontractors and investors are expected to sustain some 1.1 trillion won in losses due to Keangnam Enterprises, a construction company at the center of a recent bribery scandal.
The company, which was founded in 1951, has been making headlines since its chairman, Sung Woan-jong, committed suicide two weeks ago, leaving a list of politicians he claimed to have bribed. On the list were close aides to President Park Geun-hye, including Prime Minister Lee Wan-koo, who has offered to resign. Sung was being investigated for alleged corruption in the “energy diplomacy” of administration of former President Lee Myung-bak. Continue reading

Carson Block sounds like he’s having a great day since the co-CEO of one of his short targets stepped down
JULIA LA ROCHE FINANCE APR. 21, 2015, 10:48 PM
Influential short-seller Carson Block, the founder of Muddy Waters Research, seems pleased this morning. That’s because NQ Mobile’s co-CEO, Omar Khan, just stepped down from his role at the Chinese telecom company that Block has publicly called a “massive fraud.” The company said Khan will remain in an advisory role through December 31, 2015.
“We wish all the best to Omar Khan in his new endeavors, which will doubtless provide fewer opportunities for self-humiliation,”Block’s Muddy Waters Research Tweeted.
In October 2013, Block published a damning research report accusing the company of having “fictitious” revenues and customers that don’t really exist. Continue reading

Noble Group barred from Platts’ oil pricing process – sources
SINGAPORE, APRIL 22 | BY HENNING GLOYSTEIN
(Reuters) – Commodity trader Noble Group has been barred from taking part in some of the trading processes used to set global oil price benchmarks by reporting agency Platts, according to two people familiar with the matter.
Noble, the Singapore-listed merchant that has been battling criticism of its accounting practices this year, is not able to act as a “market maker” – actively offering both bids and offers to facilitate trading – in the half-hour trading process run by Platts, part of McGraw Hill Financials Inc.

Noble saga: Ball is in regulators’ court
Michael Dee
21 April 2015
Business Times Singapore
A HEADLINE in The Business Times on Saturday reads: “Noble dodges accounting queries at AGM”. For 90 minutes, Noble Group founder and chairman Richard Elman “repeatedly dodged shareholders’ queries on the group’s accounting practices …”.
How can it be that for more than two months Noble continues to refuse to provide details of its finances to the owners of the business and show such disregard for their interests? Continue reading

Thin-film solar technology under scrutiny as China’s Hanergy soars
HONG KONG, APRIL 19 | BY CHARLIE ZHU
(Reuters) – The green energy potential of thin-film solar panels has propelled Li Hejun to the top of China’s rich-list, but his Hanergy Holdings has yet to prove it can turn impressive laboratory research into commercially successful products. Hanergy Thin Film Power, a Hong Kong-listed unit, has seen its value soar six-fold in the past year to $37 billion – more than its nearest two dozen rivals combined. Hanergy and some analysts say the meteoric rise has been fuelled in part by Beijing’s efforts to promote solar energy. But some industry insiders say it has more to do with the firm’s own bullish proclamations on thin-film solar panels and the competitiveness of its products.
Some experts, including a Hanergy sales executive, say the firm’s products are not efficient or cheap enough and are far from ready to take any major market share from conventional panels made with crystalline silicons. Continue reading

Stock manipulation: Vipul
16 April 2015
Moneylife
Over the past one year, the stock price of Vipul shot up by 883%. Even though nearly 35% of the promoters’ shares is pledged, this does not appear to be a concern for the regulator Present on the S&P BSE Small Cap index, Vipul Ltd generates revenue from the construction and development of real estate. Over the past four quarters, this small-cap stock has generated total revenue of Rs267 crore and a net loss of Rs3.68 crore. The stock was thinly traded until a year back, with a turnover of about Rs1,000 per day in February 2014. However, the trading turnover shot up to over Rs10 lakh a day in February 2015. Over the past one year, the stock price has shot up by 883% to Rs45.90 on 1 April 2015 from Rs4.67 on 25 March 2014. Nearly 35% of the promoters’ shares have been pledged to multiple finance institutions to secure loans. The steep rise in the stock price and the high quantity of pledged shares do not appear to be a concern for the regulator.
