China Stocks

[Risicare]

what if I discovered, through the same conversation of the supplier, that 99% of the sales of a company were fabricated.

That would be called doing a channel check which is the most basic form of 3rd part verification you could do. People do it all the time to verify company claims and if you find out the company is lying and trade on it there is ZERO wrong with it. It is called due diligence.
