Governance failure

The case in brief

Visible before detection

Checks that could have surfaced it, on hindsight

Governance signals would show no independent review of the high-risk transaction.

Can mislead when: Private companies file late, so these signals are lagging. Kubr uses them to support other flags, not to prove anything alone.

Regulatory and litigation records would show the SFC proceedings and later orders.

Can mislead when: Court records lag and name spellings vary. A clean record can mean the problem has not reached court yet.

A review of the quick purchase and resale would show the loss on the round trip.

Can mislead when: Only the tribunal decides what counts as an avoidance transaction. Kubr flags candidates and never states a conclusion.

Mapped from the checks each service runs. A hindsight reading of public records, not a promise that the failure would have been found.
