Dan David and Jon Carnes, activist shareholders, investigate a web of fraud involving Chinese companies listed on the US stock market. Between 2008 and 2016, firms like Roth Capital Partners facilitated reverse mergers, allowing small Chinese companies to appear legitimate. The documentary reveals that these companies often reported revenues ten times higher than actual figures. As a result, many investors lost billions when stock prices collapsed. The film details the collusion that led to class action lawsuits and the eventual delisting of these firms from the NYSE.
