The Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) has started Market Misconduct Tribunal (MMT) proceedings against the ex-Chairman of investment group Ding Yi Feng Holding (Sui Guangyi) & 20 individuals of suspected market manipulation to create false or misleading appearance of active trading in 2018. The trading of Ding Yi Feng Holding was suspended in 2019 & resumed in 2020. Ding Yi Feng Holding current market value is around $152 million (28/3/24). Sui Guangyi owns around 22.26% of Ding Yi Feng. Hong Kong SFC: “The Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) has commenced proceedings in the Market Misconduct Tribunal (MMT) against Mr Sui Guangyi, former chairman and non-executive director of Ding Yi Feng Holdings Group International Limited (Ding Yi Feng), and 20 other individuals (Notes 1 and 2). The SFC alleges that between 1 March 2018 and 14 September 2018, Sui and the other individuals conducted manipulative trading and a significant number of matched trades in Ding Yi Feng shares to, among other things, create a false or misleading appearance of active trading in the shares and the price of the shares (Note 3). By doing so, the overall trading volume was significantly increased, thereby creating a false impression of larger market liquidity of Ding Yi Feng shares and misleading other market participants in their decision making. Trading in Ding Yi Feng shares were suspended on 8 March 2019 at the direction of the SFC and resumed on 23 January 2020 when the SFC announced that it was commencing proceedings (Note 4). The SFC also had issued restriction notices to freeze client accounts linked to the suspected market manipulation of Ding Yi Feng shares. The restriction notices remain in force (Note 5). The SFC appreciates the support and assistance provided by the China Securities Regulatory Commission during the investigation.”
