Question

As crazy as the theory may sound, what is happening to this money?

http://seekingalpha.com/instablog/644295-leland-miller/128080-can-china-stop-its-banks-from-lending

"Chinese banks typically hit their loan targets far before year end, leaving regulators the impossible (and perhaps dangerous) job of enforcing an almost total clampdown of credit at the end of the year. In 2010, for instance, Chinese banks hit their quota mark in November but still managed to loan a massive 480 billion yuan in December."

CCME - I agree that it is a pretty crazy scenario, and I think the assumption obviously has to be against it unless someone provides evidence. But you missed one thing in your analysis. Zheng Cheng received $31MM net from the SPAC. The SPAC consummation through which CCME was created brought in a total of around $47MM of investor money, the majority of which came from warrant exercise. Per the agreement, $31MM of that money ended up going directly to Zheng Cheng, the rest went to the company.

Up until now, all that Deloitte has officially audited is $57MM, the amount at year end 2009. So the question is, can Zheng Cheng turn $31MM, plus whatever else he had in the company, into $57MM using credit facilities and so forth?

We'll know for sure when we get the audited 10-K, because if there is fraud, he will have to fake a huge amount of cash this time around. I think the 10-K will go through, and that the company will be vindicated, but I am currently on the sidelines, as I prefer to wait until it is released, even though I will surely have to give up some of the upside.

re: "Who is stupid enough to "loan" $100m to someone who could not afford it"

About 500 different banks and lending institutions from 2003-2007... with no money down and balloon mortgage terms...
