This case is a primary research based on a real event at the management level. On June 16, 2015, Yang Hua Technology was being searched by prosecutors. The false trading among dozens of companies had thereby been disclosed and shocked the stock market. Since then, Yang Hua Technology used false invoices and dummy accounts to create false trading for the purpose of manipulating financial statements, turning stock market fraud scenarios of the movie The Wolf of Wall Street into reality. Moreover, Yang Hua Technology had concealed the fact that the major shareholder of its actual controlling company (Hongce Technology) had spent an enormous amount of money on taking over Yang Hua Technology, resulting in insufficient working capital in Hongce Technology. To be able to dissemble the truth, Yang Hua had utilized the transactions of aging equipment so as to transfer tens of millions of funds back to Hongce.
The aging equipment transactions between the two companies are regarded as non-arm’s-length transactions, whether in the decision-making process or requirements-fulfilling process. From June 5 to August 19, the point of trading suspension in 2015, the share price of Yang Hua had dramatically fallen by 95.4%, and more than 8,000 shareholders were affected. The non-arm’s-length transactions dominated by shareholders with management power not only infringed upon the interests of the company itself and other minority shareholders, but also seriously threatened the development of the capital market.
