Webb-site reveals that investors who took 31% of a bank IPO had secretly laid off their risk by issuing derivatives to a mainland property developer from the same city, via two HK-listed companies which incidentally are bubble stocks.

Company announcement, 24-Apr-2015
The other 60% is owned by Winsino Investments Ltd, but the announcement doesn't say who owns that. We can tell you it is owned by Enterprise Development (1808). That firm is 28.63% owned by Mr King Pak Fu, who also owns 70.71% of Forefront. The announcement also doesn't say who owns the vendor. We can tell you that the vendor acquired the stake from ED for RMB50m in late 2012, at which time Smart Masterly was owned by Shenzhen-listed United Electronics (SZ:002642).
