Roy Cho Kwai Chee charged with conspiracy to defraud Convoy (1019)
| SFC announcement
ICAC, 16-May-2019
2 years and 1 day after we published the "Enigma Network" report, the first charge is brought, relating to a relatively small and previously-unannounced acquisition by Convoy. 55% of the target was owned by Mr Cho. The ICAC alleges that he owned "50% shareholdings" in Convoy. He was not a disclosed shareholder, so to prove this, they will need to show that he was pulling the strings of numerous listed companies in the network which held the stock. Two co-conspirators are unnamed. We wait to see the rest of the iceberg.

A deep dive into HK's "not-for-profit" internet domain registry reveals appalling governance, over-charging, continuing conflicts of interests and a severe case of corporate obesity. In late 2015, having hoarded enough cash to run the registry for 9 years, the Government-controlled board reversed a fee cut, losing a quarter of registered domains over the next 3 years, while seeking ways to squander the surpluses on mission-creep rather than return the cash to users. There is a better way.

Chunli Medical (1858) tries to justify taxed bonus issue
Company announcement, 23-Apr-2019
This follows a Webb-site complaint to HKEX on 21-Feb-2019. It is against shareholders' interests to send them bonus shares when that triggers a tax on the CNY1 par value of the new shares. The tax is deducted from a cash dividend, costing H-share owners RMB0.1. For domestic owners it is RMB0.2, which, with tax on the dividend, is more than the dividend, so they get no net dividend and owe the company money which it now asks them to pay!

This follows a Webb-site complaint to HKEX on 21-Feb-2019. It is against shareholders' interests to send them bonus shares when that triggers a tax on the CNY1 par value of the new shares. The tax is deducted from a cash dividend, costing H-share owners RMB0.1. For domestic owners it is RMB0.2, which, with tax on the dividend, is more than the dividend, so they get no net dividend and owe the company money which it now asks them to pay!

For accidentally shorting shares they had not yet received in a placing, for the second time. We see the company logo is a boat with 3 sets of sails, so they are short-sailing 6 masts too.
