Re liquidation of Gatecoin Ltd
| How one thing leads to another
HK Court of First Instance, 31-Mar-2023
If the name rings a bell, we wrote about Gatecoin and its dubious practices in our article of 22-Nov-2017. The court rules that cryptotokens are "property" capable of being held on trust. Who knew that this was in doubt? Judge Linda Chan Ching Fan even goes so far as to call them "cryptocurrencies" - we wouldn't.

Dilution City
We take a look at one of the worst connected transactions of 2000, in which Century City International Holdings proposed to spend US$317m on 27% of a fibre optic project from a company controlled by its Chairman.

Midas the Soft Touch
We take a look at Midas Printing and its controlling shareholders China Cyberworld and Chuang's Consortium. Webb-site.com shows how another controlling shareholder is attempting to inject an over-valued investment to extract the cash raised during last year's dotmania surge. We urge minority shareholders to vote against this deal. (19-Jan-2001)
