What happens

The China Hustle is a 2017 financial documentary film produced by Magnolia Pictures and directed by Jed Rothstein. It reveals systematic and formulaic decades-long securities fraud by Chinese companies listed on the US stock market. Many of the film's protagonists such as Dan David and Jon Carnes are activist shareholders and due diligence professionals who discovered the frauds, including fabricated accounting and brazen misrepresentations, and subsequently shorted the stock in order to bring about the collapse of the entities which often led to class action lawsuits, NASDAQ delistment, and SEC deregistration.
