Description: 
Imagine Starbucks, the largest coffee retailer in the United States, being subject of a report claiming Starbucks is an overvalued company with fake financial statements. What do you think would happen? That is exactly what happened to the Chinese equivalent of Starbucks, Luckin Coffee (LK (Nasdaq)). However, after Luckin was the subject of Muddy Water's short report, it was later found and confirmed that Luckin's staff had faked financial figures and other reporting improprieties. Join us as we dive into a discussion on recent increases in short positions against Chinese companies listed in the U.S. stock markets. We will analyze the legal implications of the Luckin scandal. Our panelists have extensive experiences dealing with China-related deals, and will offer best-practice insights as well as mitigation tips when counseling Chinese deals in the U.S. markets.
