 
 NASDAQ-listed Kingold Jewelry is being investigated over allegations it deposited fake gold bars as collateral for loans.126SHARESFacebookTwitterLinkedInEmailPrint One of China’s largest gold jewellery manufacturers, Wuhan-based and NASDAQ-listed Kingold Jewelry, is being accused of depositing fake gold bars as collateral to obtain loans from 14 Chinese financial institutions. The 83 tonnes of gold were purportedly valued at 20.6 billion yuan (A$4.2 billion) but many of them have turned out to be gilded copper, according to reports from Beijing. Two New York law firms have already begun investigations into securities fraud on behalf of investors in Kingold Jewelry Inc (NASDAQ: KGJI). The story broke after a Beijing-based website investigated complaints and then posted the news under the headline: “The mystery of [US]$2 billion of loans backed by fake gold”. Kingold is denying it lodged fake bars with Chinese lenders such as China Minsheng Trust, Hengfeng Bank, Dongguan Trust and Bank of Zhangjiakou. The trust companies involved are largely what are known as “shadow banks”. Fake gold used as collateral after loan defaults在納斯達克上市的金諾德珠寶公司（Kingold Jewelry）正在因指控其存放假金條作為貸款抵押而受到調查。126分享臉書推特領英電子郵件打印 中國最大的黃金珠寶生產商之一，總部位於武漢，在納斯達克上市的金德珠寶，被指控存放假金條作為抵押品，以從14家中國金融機構獲得貸款。 據北京報道，據稱這83噸黃金的價值為206億元人民幣（42億澳元），但其中許多竟然是鍍金銅。 紐約的兩家律師事務所已經開始代表Kingold Jewelry Inc（NASDAQ：KGJI）的投資者調查證券欺詐行為。 總部位於北京的網站調查了投訴之後，這個故事破裂了，然後在標題下發布了該消息：“ [20億美元由假黃金支持的貸款之謎”。 金諾德否認它向中國民生信託，恆豐銀行，東莞信託和張家口銀行等中國放貸機構放假證。所涉及的信託公司主要是所謂的“影子銀行”。 假黃金在貸款違約後用作抵押當金old拖欠東莞信託的貸款時，涉嫌的欺詐行為在今年早些時候曝光。抵押品保證金條被證明是鍍金銅合金。民生信託的“金”條也被證明是鍍金表面下的銅合金。  Kingold Jewelry獲得了十幾家公司的貸款。
據報道，大部分借來的錢被用於投資中國的房地產泡沫，其中一些投資顯然變質了。 Kingold收購了一家名為Tri-Ring的公司，該公司以部分借入的資金在武漢和深圳擁有土地。 軍事支持幫助Kingold籌集資金金戈德的控股股東賈志宏被描述為“一個令人生畏的前軍人”。 賈先生曾在武漢和廣州服役，曾為中國人民解放軍管理過金礦。Kingold最初是中國人民銀行在武漢的一家黃金工廠。 關於這個突破性故事的評論認為，賈先生與中國強大的軍隊的聯繫意味着他可以做任何他想做的事，而不會提出任何問題。 實際上，一家國有保險公司承擔了部分貸款，但受益人是金戈德，而不是貸方。 武漢金王是湖北省最大的黃金加工企業。 關於中國的黃金“硬資產”是否根本不存在的疑問已經提出。 這並不是同類醜聞中的第一個醜聞：2016年，作為陝西省19家貸方的抵押發行的“金”條也被證明是摻假的–在這種情況下，金條的核心由鎢組成。 擔心其他中國的黃金生產商和珠寶製造商也可能捲入類似的欺詐行為。 據悉，上海黃金交易所已經取消了金old的會員資格。 消息傳出後，Kingold股價下跌23.77％，報0.85美元。 The alleged scam came to light earlier this year when Kingold defaulted on loans to Dongguan Trust. The gold bars pledged as collateral turned out to be gilded copper alloy. Minsheng Trust’s “gold” bars have also turned out to be copper alloy under the gilded surface. Kingold Jewelry secured loans from over a dozen firms. Much of the money borrowed was reportedly used to invest in China’s housing bubble, some of which investments obviously went sour. Kingold bought a company called Tri-Ring that owned blocks of land in Wuhan and Shenzhen with some of the borrowed money. Military backing helped Kingold raise moneyKingold’s controlling shareholder is Jia Zhihong, described as “an intimidating ex-military man”. Mr Jia, who has served in the military in Wuhan and Guangzhou, once managed gold mines for the People’s Liberation Army. Kingold was originally a gold factory in Wuhan affiliated with the People’s Bank of China. Commentaries on this breaking story argue that Mr Jia’s connections with China’s powerful army meant he could do anything he wanted, no questions asked. In fact, a state-owned insurer covered some of the loans — but with the beneficiary being Kingold, not the lenders. Wuhan Kingold is the largest gold processor in Hubei province. Questions are already being raised as to whether more of China’s “hard assets” of gold simply do not exist. This is not the first scandal of its kind: in 2016 “gold” bars issued as collateral to 19 lenders in the Shaanxi province also turned out to be adulterated – in that case, the core of the bars consisted of tungsten. Fears are that other Chinese gold producers and jewellery makers may also be involved in similar frauds. It is reported that the Shanghai Gold Exchange has cancelled Kingold’s membership. Shares in Kingold fell 23.77% overnight on the news to US$0.85.
