Market Misconduct Tribunal finds ex-chairman and executives inflated accounts; HK$482m disgorgement
Greencool Technology Holdings Limited · Listed refrigerant and energy-saving technology group
The case in brief
Visible before detection
Checks that could have surfaced it, on hindsight
Third-party confirmation
Third-party confirmation would show that subsidiary assets and customers did not exist as reported.
Can mislead when: Counterparties can collude or ignore requests. A non-response is logged as a gap, never as a pass.
Governance signals
Governance signals would show a single person holding the chairman, CEO and controlling shareholder roles.
Can mislead when: Private companies file late, so these signals are lagging. Kubr uses them to support other flags, not to prove anything alone.
Document authenticity / direct pull
A direct pull of subsidiary records would show accounts differing from those filed.
Can mislead when: The company can refuse consent, and a refusal is itself a flag. Some banks and co-op banks are not on AA yet.
Counterparty existence
Counterparty checks on the subsidiary projects would show that the projects were not real.
Can mislead when: Real companies can be used as pass-throughs. Existence does not prove a real trade, so C6 and C7 still apply.

Mapped from the checks each service runs. A hindsight reading of public records, not a promise that the failure would have been found.
Same pattern
A summary of public documents. It reports what the sources say. It is not Kubr's finding and not a statement of guilt.
