Chapter 80: Trial (5)

"Zhong Shi, you just said that after you gave the internal order to stop shorting, there are still people who are shorting the stock of Stanley Company, and this part of the funds comes from himself, is that true?" Allan. Sean asked unhurriedly. After receiving Zhong Shi's affirmative answer, he changed his tone and asked loudly, "So, can you prove it?" ”

"Of course!" Zhong Shi replied in the same loud voice, "Regarding our internal fund management, there are strict regulations on this. In fact, after I gave the order to stop shorting Stanley stock, the use of the funds was frozen. And the source of this part of the funds, the investigation report of the Hong Kong police, has come out, and it does come from the person's private account. ”

"Okay, as for the relevant report, I will contact the Hong Kong side and try my best to get them to issue a certificate and include it in the evidence. Opposing lawyer, that's no problem, right? "See Mead. Wolfsky nodded reluctantly after Allen. Sean smiled smugly, and finally got a city back.

"Also, I noticed what you just said, Mr. Zhong, "Soon Allen. Sean's face regained his solemn expression, and he asked Zhong Shi seriously, "Regarding the sentence 'the operation of our fund's funds is carried out in strict accordance with the strategy previously formulated internally', I think these strategies should form a document, I don't know if these documents can be publicized to the court and the jury, so that everyone knows that in fact, your fund is operated in strict accordance with the strategy." In this way, can you explain the reasonableness and legitimacy of your short-selling behavior against Stanley before the email leak? ”

Without waiting for Bell Stone to answer, Alan. Sean turned to the jury and said, "Jury members, my client is an extremely professional investor, and every decision he makes has a corresponding strategic analysis report as a basis because it involves thousands of dollars of funds. That's why I ask. I just want to say to you that even before I got the email from Stanley, it made sense for my client to short the stock of Stanley & Company. ”

The members of the jury looked at each other for a long time, some subconsciously nodding their heads, while others shook their heads disapprovingly.

"Against!"

Mead. Wolfsky thought for a moment. He stood up and shouted, "I object." Leaving aside the contents of these so-called reports, it is questionable whether they existed before this case occurred. For example, I will keep in mind that if these reports are not stored in advance, but are made by the defendant after knowing that he has been charged, they are blatant perjury. I don't understand why the opposing lawyer would make such a request, it seems to me to be very incredible! ”

Towards Alan with contempt. After Sean took one look, Midder sat down politely. If Allen. Sean only had two words. Then I'm afraid that I won't be able to help Zhong Shi get rid of his crimes, Mead clenched his fists and thought secretly.

Allan. Sean was also stunned, and patted his head in frustration, he forgot one thing, that is, similar strategy reports can only be circulated internally, not to the outside world, so it is also a problem to prove that these reports were stored in advance. However, his afterglow quickly swept to Zhong Shishi, who had a calm face. found that the other party was nodding to him imperceptibly, and his heart moved at the moment. "Your Excellency, I insist that my client say something about these strategic reports, because it is at stake for my client's innocence!" ”

Judge Wall saw the two lawyers arguing and secretly suffered a headache. He has been listening for so long, and he has also heard some famous names. The defendant insisted on his innocence and even took the initiative to avoid possible trouble. It was an internal problem, someone didn't continue to sell as instructed. The complaining side pointed out that the defendant's arguments were not supported by strong evidence, and that the defendant did indeed short Stanley's stock. So far, the focus of the argument between the two sides is whether there is strong evidence.

After thinking about it, he decided to let the defendant continue. and even come up with corresponding evidence. Although he is not responsible for approval, he has to ensure the fairness of the trial process.

"These strategy reports can be submitted to the court as evidence in this case." After getting the judge's nod, Zhong Shi nodded helplessly, which was a leak of some of his secrets. But now there is no other way, it is important to get rid of the crime first.

Allan. Sean nodded with satisfaction, he had read the report of the Tianyu Fund on shorting the shares of Stanley Company before, and it was originally intended to be used as a secret weapon, but now he had to propose to open this hole card, "But Mr. Zhong Shi, how do you prove that these reports were stored in advance and not later remediated or forged?" ”

"Regarding these reports, I can submit relevant transaction records to prove that we are not lying!" Zhong Shi was full of confidence, and his voice was a little high-pitched, "In addition, we are not just short the stock of Stanley Company, we have also carried out several similar operations, and we can also provide these strategy reports, and there are relevant transaction records to prove their authenticity." ”

"In addition, I published a byline article in The Economist magazine in November '06, and the core idea of it coincides with the content of our upcoming report. Although it does not support the objective existence of these reports, it is enough to show that at that time, we had relevant research and finally operated according to this idea. There are also some of our customers who should have received similar strategy reports around March 07, and I am talking about customers who have no stakehold. Zhong Shi finally added.

"Really?"

Allan. Sean was really overjoyed, he only knew that there was such a strategy report, but he didn't know that there were several similar reports, and whether it was the transaction records or the articles in The Economist, it was enough to prove that these reports had indeed existed before. Especially the latter, in the face of global distribution, if there is really an article that Zhong Shi said, it is almost an ironclad fact.

"Members of the jury, I'm sure you heard that. My client makes investment decisions based on his own judgment. In order to avoid suspicion, he even asked his fund to stop similar transactions during the negotiation process. "Alan. Sean hit the railroad while it was hot, "We will submit these reports to the court as much as possible." What I want to say now is that assuming that what my client said is true, then it is clear that today's accusation is a framing of my client. ”

"That's not the point!"

Mead. Wolfsky's face was pale, he never expected that the other party would have such a thing, which simply destroyed most of his previous efforts, but the next moment he grasped the weakness of the other party's self-evidence, "Mr. Zhong, if what you said about the strategy report is true, but on the issue of whether to stop shorting Stanley company's stock, we still can't judge whether what you say is true, if you can't submit strong evidence, then I'm sorry, according to ' We will not drop the charges against you. ”

With just one sentence, he shifted the focus of the entire jury. Sean also had to secretly exclaim.

Previous entanglement of evidence, Alan. Sean tried to shift the focus of the court argument to the fact that the whole thing was an unwarranted disaster, and the strategy was naturally to first prove the legitimacy of Zhong Shi's shorting of Stanley stocks, and then said that it was the people inside the Tianyu Fund who couldn't hold back their greed and privately used brokerage channels to guide the occurrence of today's situation. And Mead. After an initial period of defeat, Wolfsky finally grasped the fatal weakness of the opponent, namely that Zhongshi had to prove that he had given a similar order, and that it had to prove that it had been given at the time.

The difficulty of this self-proof is not ordinary. If the previous strategy report on shorting Stanley stock was a necessary lesson before investing, this order to stop trading is quite accidental, and generally speaking, a verbal notice is sufficient, and who would care about these details?

For a time, even Allen. Sean's brows furrowed as well, and he felt that the shape had been reversed again! (To be continued......)
