Its success drew in big international investors such as BlackRock Inc.and support from banks including Credit Suisse Group AG. However, MuddyWaters Research’s 89 page report claimed that Luckin was inflating thenumber of items sold per day by 69% in the third quarter of 2019 and 88% inthe fourth, purportedly revealing fraud within Luckin.Both Luckin’s Chairman & co-founder Lu Zhengyao and co-founder Qian Zhiyawere removed from the board of directors. Should both co-founders be liablefor the shareholders’ investment loss as the element of fraud was revealedeven though a public limited company has limited liability?
