Group 2: Fund Misappropriation - A significant portion of the loan, amounting to 1.62 billion yuan, was misappropriated by the controlling person of Jinwei Industrial, leading to financial discrepancies and project delays [8][10]. - The funds were diverted to pay for land acquisition costs for another project, the Beilonghu project, rather than being used for the intended construction of the Jin Qiao Xi Tang project [10][11]. - The misappropriation involved multiple channels, including personal consumption and payments to other projects, raising concerns about the financial oversight of the involved institutions [10][11].
