The accounting scandal at China's Luckin Coffee’s thwarts a backer’s $2.5 billion fund

The accounting mess at China’s Luckin Coffee Inc. has forced one of its top backers to put off its fundraising plans.

Centurium Capital, a three-year-old Chinese private-equity firm that has a sizable investment in Luckin, has put on hold plans to raise a second fund with a target size of $2.5 billion, according to people familiar with the matter. Its decision comes after the coffee chain’s revelation that employees fabricated much of its 2019 sales.

I’m starting to think these scandals are going to drag all the big accounting firms with them

Luckin is just for money encirclement, only idiots trust a coffee shop can succeed in China where all ppl believe green tea is healthy and most never have a cup of coffee in life.

Why do i have 2 keep living in that cold house? I want 2 leave and go 2 Israel & make friends there. I really want 2 connect in my prayers, when i read, & deep in my soul. Im changing little by little but always progress. I want 2 know why everythin happened 2 me the way it did.

Well now you know for sure that Im not your servant or anyone else's in the entire world, not even a Jew's. I am G-d's servant. Just one of His many servants who just wanted to do something special for Him. I didnt know I am so loved by G-d!!

Oh gee the Chinese lost a few Billion--ok Where is Hunter Biden

As is the case with any chinese companies,chinese accounting manipulation is very often and the damage is very serious. Don't trust chinese accounting records.

Not so lucky after all ...

Is anybody doing any fundamental work any more? Seriously, can I get an amen here!

JPMorgan says it has $26 billion in small business relief applications that need fundingMany thousands of businesses are in limbo as Congress needs to approve more money for the small business relief program. Why CNBC as a platform for business journalism should look into this program. In this very trying time this program is not functioning as it was meant to.
