"Deloitte Under Scrutiny After Missing Tingo's Alleged $462-Million Fraud"
"The story unfolded in June 2023, when short-selling firm Hindenburg Research released a report titled 'Fake Farmers, Phones, and Financials – The Nigerian Empire That Isn't', accusing the agri-fintech group of companies of fabricating financial statements. Hindenburg claimed Tingo's inflated financials "could have been spotted by any semi-conscious finance undergrad with severe vision loss",

re: fair minded approach
Tingo Inc. (TIO)
Good, well considered and even-handed evaluation of the pro's and cons
of evaluating an OTC or a big board ticker. Your example of seeing the red
flags and green flags and weighing both (as opposed to seeing just one side) is most instructive for calculating risk which, as you
pointed out, is crucial necessary as risk constitutes an intrinsic factor.
Your messages on sp*zi are good reading. Worth bearing in mind.
The caustic response of dr-draino was pompous,haughty, and unnecessarity shrill.

Well, you certainly aren't very good at DD... a few examples I posted over a year ago:
During the 1990s, Chris Cleverly presented on Channel 4[5] and contributed to other television channels, radio and newspapers.[6][7]
In 2005, with British designer Ozwald Boateng, Cleverly co-founded the Made In Africa Foundation,[8] a Uganda-based organisation established to provide first-stage funding and business development of infrastructure projects. Cleverly was co-architect of a $1.5bn “Africa50” fund in conjunction with the African Development Bank.[9][10]
Later described by The Times as a someone "who ... has skipped from venture to venture with little apparent success",[2] Cleverly joined AIM-listed African Potash as its chairman in 2015. The company was developing the Lac Dinga potash project in the Republic of Congo.[11][12] However, the business collapsed in value and was delisted from AIM. Renamed Block Commodities it then focused on blockchain technology in 2018.[2][13] In 2019, Block Commodities was licensed to grow and import medicinal cannabis, striking deals to buy land in Sierra Leone;[14] however, the deals collapsed, Cleverly stepped down as chair, and the firms shares were suspended.[2]
In 2019, Cleverly, then a partner at private equity firm PAI Capital, led a bid to buy West Ham United Football Club.[2][4]
Cleverly is the president of Tingo, Inc, an agri-fintech company, and of Tingo International Holdings, an investment company.[15]

Because I've read your posting history until I finally got bored of reading the same negative Nelly posts.
Why do you think that? I own several! But they are REAL companies, not P&Ds!
Not one fact did I ever see you post on the TMNA board, only conjecture, and opinion. You turned out right! congrats!!! I lost money, and that part is fine, and its on me! I never ever saw anyone lying on this board, or pumping. If a person likes a stock, they say so, if they don't, they say so. It's an opinion board.
No, I tell the TRUTH and support it with FACTS!
So if I understand you... lying pumpers are good, honest fact-based critics are bad?

I don't blame anyone for my losses, never have! I take responsibility for my decisions. Thought I made that clear. I do ok. Live a happy life, play golf 4-5 days a week, have a boat parked at my dock in my backyard! And I don't care what other people buy/sell in the OTC. I post on boards I buy, you spew negative Nancy on almost all of your posts that I reviewed. Why is that, out of curiosity? You don't own a OTC Name, but yet, you spend plenty of time spewing negativity on the boards you post on? GLTY ma'am!

Looks like I lost a few thousand!!! It's ok, that's part of trading high risk penny stocks! I believed financials and the CEO, and PR's, over a few guys that have nothing better to do than spend countless hours on message boards spouting their beliefs. If I'd have been smarter I'd have sold earlier and not lost it all. Lesson learned. But one thing I also learned along the way, I will never ever listen to you negative nellies in stocks that I own. I will wish you good luck however, if you ever decide to actually buy an OTC Name!!!

"Anything goes lower than $0.34 in TMNA im buying "
It won't. At least not for more than a few minutes.
Just sayin' .... it won't get below $0.34 for the next week or two. wink Maybe never, if things go smoothly and we get a few more people in here.
Hahaha! Chuckles.

Hindenburg Founder Warned Deloitte 11 Times In 5 Months About Tingo's "Massive Fraud" Before SEC, DOJ Action
FRIDAY, JAN 12, 2024 - 12:40 PM
As we wrote back in December, the SEC charged publicly listed company Tingo Group, a Nigerian "agri-fintech" company with "massive fraud", claiming that almost every aspect of the company - including its partners and its financials - was fabricated. Short seller Hindenburg Research had written about the company on June 6, calling it "an exceptionally obvious scam with completely fabricated financials".
In a not-so-surprising development, the Department of Justice joined the party earlier this month, charging the company's founder and former CEO, Dozy Mmobuosi, with securities fraud, making false filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and conspiracy charges.
"Mmobuosi spearheaded a scheme to fabricate financial statements and other documents of the three entities, Tingo Group Inc., Agri-Fintech Holdings Inc., and Tingo International Holdings Inc. and their Nigerian operating subsidiaries," the SEC wrote in a release last month.
But in a slightly more surprising development, yesterday the short seller who originally pointed out concerns with Tingo released a tranche of 11 emails it had sent to Tingo's auditor, Deloitte, warning them about potential fraud at Tingo.
"Today, we are releasing 11 emails we sent to Deloitte's senior leaders, spanning nearly 5 months, that documented flagrant signs of fraud at Tingo Group, one of the most spectacular Big 4 audit failures of our time," Hindenburg Research founder Nathan Anderson wrote on X yesterday.
"Our letters pointed this out clearly and repeatedly, but Deloitte stood by and failed to act despite being presented with overwhelming evidence," he continued.
He then linked to all 11 emails which show Hindenburg clearly putting numerous people with Deloitte e-mail addresses on notice about Tingo. Anderson wrote in one email to the auditor:
As Warren Buffett once said: “It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it. If you think about that, you'll do things differently.” Deloitte has an otherwise strong global reputation that it has earned through decades of difficult audit work—we hope to see the firm continue to protect its brand. We think this should have been obvious months ago, but better late than never.
'Deloitte’s audit work is meant to provide foundational comfort to investors that a company’s financial statements can be trusted. It is meant to be an investor’s first line of defense, yet Deloitte is tracking to be dead last in recognizing the issues at Tingo," he added.
"The lack of action by Deloitte in the face of overwhelming evidence has maximized the harm to prospective investors that continue to believe in Tingo’s obviously false financial statements."
"I am following up with new evidence that Deloitte Israel’s audit client, Tingo Group, continues to exhibit glaring red flags indicating that it has fabricated its financials," Anderson wrote in one email back in September 2023, while Tingo was still trading.
Then, weeks before Tingo shares were halted, Anderson wrote, alongside of compiled evidence of fraud: "Everything we have written to date is easily verifiable with the links made accessible in this series of salty emails. All of the above is easily verifiable through government and company provided data. Once again, despite the overwhelming evidence, Deloitte continues to stand behind the company’s crystal-clear lies in one of the worst displays of auditor gross negligence we have witnessed."
