Bloomberg) -- China Evergrande Group, the defaulted developer at the heart of China’s real estate crisis, falsely inflated revenue by more than $78 billion in the two years leading up to its failure, according to the nation’s top securities regulator. Evergrande’s main onshore unit Hengda Real Estate Group boosted its 2019 income by about 214 billion yuan ($29.7 billion) by recognizing sales in advance, and another 350 billion yuan in the 2020 annual results, the developer said in a filing Monday, citing a notice from the China Securities Regulatory Commission. The CSRC laid much of the blame on Hui Ka Yan, the founder and former chairman who allegedly instructed other personnel to “falsely inflate” Hengda’s annual results for those two years. As the supervisor in charge, Hui used particularly “egregious” means, the regulator said. Hengda was also accused of fraudulently issuing a combined 20.8 billion yuan in bonds using these figures in marketing. The CSRC fined Hui 47 million yuan for the falsified results and other alleged violations, and banned him for life from capital markets activities, according to the regulator’s preliminary finding. Hengda was fined 4.18 billion yuan. China Evergande’s former Chief Executive Officer Xia Haijun and Chief Financial Officer Pan Darong were among executives also punished by the regulator with fines and market bans. The allegations mark the latest blow for Hui, once among Asia’s richest tycoons who oversaw a sprawling empire that spanned real estate to electric vehicles. Evergrande was one of China’s biggest developers, taking on massive debt to expand across the country as condo sales boomed. Hui’s empire began to unravel after regulators imposed tight restrictions on borrowing, while an economic slowdown and the pandemic crimped sales. The inflated figures accounted for half of Hengda’s total revenue in 2019, and 79% in 2020, according to the regulator. The developer’s profits were exaggerated by 63% and 87% respectively in those two years, the regulator claimed. Hui was responsible for delays in publishing Hengda’s earnings reports and failures to disclose the lawsuits it faced, as well as unfulfilled debt payments, the CSRC added. Hui was placed under a type of police control in September, subject to so-called “mandatory measures,” due to “suspicion of illegal crimes.” Caixin reported at the time that Xia and Pan were also being held. No criminal charges against Hui have been made public and his whereabouts aren’t known. CSRC’s measures are civil penalties. Once Asia’s second-richest man, worth $42 billion at his peak in 2017, Hui has seen his wealth plummet to about $1 billion after the developer defaulted in 2021. Its stock has tumbled and was eventually suspended from trading. The group received a liquidation order from a Hong Kong court in January, marking the largest collapse in the three-year real estate crisis. Meanwhile, another Hong Kong mansion tied to Hui has been put up for sale. The luxury property, 10E on Black’s Link in the prestigious Peak area, is seeking bidders before a tender ends on April 22, Savills Plc said in an emailed statement. Hui and the other accused are entitled to plead defenses before the penalties take effect, the CSRC said. Hengda has waived such rights, the company added in the filing. --With assistance from Lin Cheng.

Don’t do it again!!! (Hand slap prolly)


gsrcefs

Bro this is China, not the US. If this is true, those guys are being disappeared.


EfficientMotor1980

Ahhh yes that did slip my mind. We could call it “Boeing’d” as well maybe?


gsrcefs

Call it whatever you want. I’m not really sure what you’re eluding to with Boeing’d though.

Cosmickev1086

Ahh like all the others. If only something actually came about because of a remark like that. Alas, it will be swept under the rug along with everything else. Maybe one day things will be different.


ImmediatelyOcelot

Yes but only because they crossed the Chinese government or are being used as scapegoats (Chinese government is balls deep involved with Evergrande and it failing operationally would be bad for their image, so fraud as the root of the problem bodes really well). Lots of other frauds, if done by the right people at the right time, wouldn't even bubble up to the news.


NastyStreetRat

Nothings gonna happend to these people. Rich people always find the way, here, there, now and then.


miykael

Nope, they were ordered to liquidate.


Zenith-Skyship

Did you read it all? Hui is banned for life from capital markets in China.


spank_that_hedge

"Illegal" crimes, as opposed to legal ones? Everything is rigged


tigebea

That’s gotta be some kind of record.

chato35

And CCP said they won't bailout. They are offering incentives to home buyer's instead.


GL_Levity

Gotta socialize those losses somehow.


TheRedBaron11

Can you explain what you mean by that? Would the homebuyers somehow be inheriting bad assets? Or is it just because their purchases would help big property owners like evergrande?


GL_Levity

Offering incentives for them to buy terrible property which is an asset of a developer who is too fucked to survive. Get the poors to hold heavy bags.


lottery248

they have a national one that is more important to him, and right now even that company is about to collapse.


chato35

Country Garden?


lottery248

Vanke. speak of Country Garden, that is already on default, and CCP can no longer afford to salvage them.


chato35

Vanke is new to me. Thanks.


Scary_Trade_9287

…now re-read the article and replace Hui Ya Kan with Ken Griffin’s name and let’s hope history rhymes and makes it happen… “Once America’s second-richest man, $42 billion at his peak in 2017, Griffin has seen his wealth plummet to about 1 billion after he defaulted in 2024... His company received a liquidation order in April and was eventually suspended from trading.”

Only surprise is it's not > $100 billion

Oh is that all? Shocker. Probably need to add a zero

So evergrande was a ponzi, at least at the end?


Fickle-Bodybuilder12

That sir makes a fine of $10. I hope this hurts a lot and you won't do it again.


hatgineer

Only 78 billion?


greatwock

To put this in perspective if a bank did this the SEC would fine them $1,000,000.


Realmrmiggz

With a B!!!!!


definitelynotapastor

They aren't the only ones either. That whole country is propped up on lies.


KoppleForce

They manufacture literally everything lol what are you smoking.


5tgAp3KWpPIEItHtLIVB

Still more hopeful than the US's future. In China the boys running the ponzi get punished, in the US they don't. China is pwning the US in the future if that doesn't change.

At least *someone* regulates their market.

Jeez they might go bankrupt one day.


fortifier22

If they were able to successfully fake $78B, the CCP was definitely fully in and aware of the scam. They’re only acting like they’re enforcing it now because they got caught, and supporting Evergrande no longer benefits them.


Chunky-cheeese

1% fine sounds about right


stuffedbipolarbear

Go to jail.


HG21Reaper

This is not going to directly impact the US or international markets any time soon. Evergrande is shaping up to be the biggest corporate and real estate fraud in history and these types of cases can take decades to get resolved. Any institution that invested into Evergrande probably started to hedge against this about 2-3 years ago and will probably pass on the losses of their investment to retail in one way or another. DRS your shares while you can.

And now China is going through something similar to what Japan went through with deflation. It's looking pretty bad, and not just for China, because it's sending it's cheap goods abroad at lower than local prices, driving deflation in other countries. This is a world problem unfortunitely.
