If the number of people raised exceeds 50 and transferred to a personal account, It is determined as illegal fund-raising, which is a very serious economic crime that can be sentenced to death, such as Wu Ying of Zhejiang, Delong Tang Wanxin, and Madoff of the United States.

Private placement rumors
- "Headless" rumors recommended stocks seem to be justified
- Attentive investors may have discovered that such a hot post Inside Rumors and Internal References of Private Equity Funds is circulating on many financial websites and forums. It is different from a simple flag limit recommendation, but instead The company's "inside information" set out to attract investors' attention to this company.
- Hot posts are posted every day for nearly three years. No one knows where it really comes from, and no one knows where its news comes from. We first discovered it in a blog on a well-known financial website in 2007, but at that time the A-share market was in a big bull market, and it was not surprising that its recommendations were accurate, so it did not receive much attention from investors.
- However, over time, we have found that investors following this post are increasing.
- Yesterday, we searched Baidu for more than 53,000 news about "private equity rumors". Financial websites such as CICC Online, Hexun and China Securities Network, forums and communication groups as small as general websites, and some local newspapers are often reprinted.
- Why do such unfounded posts attract such widespread attention from investors?
- According to our understanding, on the one hand, because such posts are free, including them in "services" instead of "transactions" eliminates investors' vigilance; on the other hand, what is claimed in the posts is mostly restructuring of listed companies, Sensitive information such as business improvement and capital inflows are sound and reasonable on the surface, and are close to the company's news and fundamentals. Compared to those "amplifying the volume", the only way to recommend stocks is to say "I will go up and down" Institutionally, investors are more willing to accept such recommendations.
- Most recommended stocks are trending "good"
- More importantly, although this is just a recommendation from unknown sources, the message in the post will also be marked with "ambiguous", "rumor" and other vague words in the front. "Betting", and the recommended stocks often perform well in the secondary market.
Private Equity Development Status
- In 2012, the downward pressure on the global economy has increased, and the private equity investment industry will face tremendous pressure to withdraw and return. China's VC / PE industry will enter a period of in-depth adjustment. The industry's "shuffle" will accelerate. PE institutions that have not reached the expected returns will be at a disadvantage in the market competition. Fundraising and investment are facing challenges, and they may even be eliminated. And mature institutions with high professional standards and completed fundraising in advance will better respond to industry adjustments, and investment strategies and competition patterns will face changes.
