Sino-Forest report raises new questions

Friday 25 Nov 2011

In last week’s Offcuts we ran a story that’s been unfolding for some time. The media reported last week that after five months of investigation, a committee (consisting of a group of Chinese timber producer Sino-Forest Corp. Directors) set up to look at the company had said that it found no evidence of fraud and rejected the allegations by a short-seller that sent its shares down 75%.

Several of our Canadian readers pointed out that once you dig a little deeper that there are still some very serious problems around Sino-Forest Corp. and the allegations. The RCMP (Canada’s national police force) has launched a criminal investigation into whether executives of Sino-Forest Corp. defrauded Canadian investors who pumped billions into the Chinese timber producer and its shares are still frozen by the Ontario Securities commission.
