On December 4th, JD Group issued a statement stating that the "Chengxing case" has recently attracted widespread media and public attention. JD, as an uninformed victim, was involved in a four-year malicious lawsuit, causing significant damage to the company's reputation and rights.
JD.com stated that in the process of contract fraud in the Chengxing Group, Chengxing Group companies easily deceived Noah Wealth, known as the "global comprehensive financial platform," and its Gefei assets by using fake JD official seals, fake JD employees, fake JD systems, and false transaction data, and obtained huge financing from Gefei, which caused a huge explosion. Faced with more than two years of ongoing fraud, Gefei Asset's due diligence work has shown obvious deficiencies, and there are huge loopholes in investment and financing management. Executive Fang Jianhua accepted a huge bribe from Chengxing (which has been sentenced in the first trial), causing significant losses to investors and failing to fulfill corresponding responsibilities and obligations to investors.
JD.com stated that according to public information, Noah Wealth has experienced more than ten similar incidents in recent years, facing problems in the redemption of billions of funds, and has repeatedly concealed information from investors. It has also been warned and punished by regulatory authorities, indicating its long-term existence of serious risk control deficiencies. At present, the criminal case related to the Chengxing case has been sentenced in the first instance, and the actual controller of Chengxing, Luo Jing, and other fraud suspects have been sentenced to prison. Noah Wealth and Gefei Asset still disregard the trust of investors, refuse to examine their internal management issues, and maliciously launch a ridiculous and high amount lawsuit against third-party JD.com, attempting to confuse the public, continue to mislead investors and the general public, shift responsibility, and seek a "scapegoat" for themselves. We believe that the court will make a fair judgment on this case. I hope that Noah Wealth and Gefei Asset will face their own problems, show sincerity and take corrective measures, especially to enhance the most basic integrity and literacy as a wealth management company, and truly protect the rights and interests of investors.
