Core Viewpoint - Jintongling Technology Group Co., Ltd. has been indicted for six consecutive years of financial fraud, with the prosecution asserting that the company and six key executives should be held criminally liable for serious offenses related to fraudulent stock issuance and the improper disclosure of important information [1][4]. Financial Fraud Methods and Scale - From 2017 to 2022, Jintongling systematically inflated or deflated financial data through various means, including falsifying project completion reports and shipping documents. The company recognized revenue prematurely for undelivered goods and did not deduct sales returns from revenue, leading to inflated operating income and total profit [2]. - The fraud involved Jintongling's wholly-owned subsidiary, Shanghai Yunneng Energy Technology Co., Ltd., and its affiliated company, Jiangsu Yunneng. The inflated operating income for the years 2017, 2018, 2021, and 2022 amounted to 501 million, 550 million, 68.93 million, and 15.3 million respectively, with corresponding inflated total profits of 146 million, 148 million, 7.398 million, and 4.332 million.
