FRC investigates going-concern reporting of China Evergrande (3333)
Accounting & Financial Reporting Council, 15-Oct-2021
Comment: we sense a certain amount of grandstanding, Monday-morning quarterbacking and 2020 hindsight. Perhaps the FRC should hire Andrew Left to help them out with their analysis. Whether Evergrande is or was viable as a going concern was always a matter of judgment for the directors as well as investors. What can be gained from investigating that judgment, and how much will it cost in regulatory resources?

Andrew Left and the right to be wrong
We take a close look at the Market Misconduct Tribunal's report on Mr Left's erroneous criticism of China Evergrande (3333), and what that says about free speech amongst participants in the HK market. (23-Oct-2016)
SFAT's red flag on Moody's chills negative research
We look at what the SFAT's ruling and the SFC's action says about the future of Hong Kong as a place in which freedom of debate and negative criticism is becoming increasingly difficult. (8-Apr-2016)
MMT dismisses application by Andrew Left of Citron Research
SFC, 2-Nov-2015
This battle will be fought on the public information of Evergrande, and whether no reasonable analyst could reach the opinion that Evergrande was insolvent as Mr Left did, the publication of which the SFC alleges was false and misleading information. The question is, if his opinions were so inconsistent with the facts, then why would anyone take them seriously? Analysts are allowed to be wrong. The fact that their opinions move prices does not mean the opinion is always right.

SFC actions risk chilling critics
A New Year's Eve SFAT ruling reveals an SFC action against Moody's for its 2011 "red flags" report, following the recent launch of MMT action against a short-selling analyst. The SFC risks chilling publication of critical opinion and analysis - something we would hate to stop doing. We will be watching the cases carefully. (1-Jan-2015)
SFC takes Citron Research head to MMT over Evergrande (3333) reports277, SFO.
SFC, 22-Dec-2014
This should be interesting. The SFC will need to show that Andrew Left either knew that his allegations were false or was reckless or negligent as to whether they were, in which case Section 277 of the SFO bites.
