China's Evergrande Accused of $78 Billion Revenue Fraud

China Evergrande Group is accused of inflating its revenue by over $78 billion in the two years leading up to its failure, with the nation’s top securities regulator attributing much of the blame to founder Hui Ka Yan. The company's former chairman allegedly instructed personnel to falsify annual results, leading to inflated figures accounting for a significant portion of the developer's total revenue and profits. The regulator fined Hui and banned him for life from capital markets activities, while also penalizing other executives. This marks the latest blow for Hui, once among Asia’s richest tycoons, as Evergrande faces liquidation and its stock remains suspended from trading.
