The complaint centers on whether Kandi manipulated its financial statements, including overstating revenues.

More specifically, according to the complaint (1) Kandi artificially inflated reported revenues through undisclosed related party transactions, and (2) most of Kandi's sales during the past year were to undisclosed related parties, indicating the lack of arms-length transactions.

But investors began to learn the truth, according to the complaint, on Nov. 30, 2020, when Hindenburg Research published a scathing lengthy forensic report based on on-the-ground inspections at Kandi's factories and customer locations in China, interviews with over a dozen former employees, and review of numerous litigation documents and internal public records.

According to Hindenburg, Kandi engaged in a "brazen scheme" to "falsify revenue using fake sales to undisclosed affiliates." Hindenburg reported (1) it unmasked Kandi's top customers and found that almost 64% of Kandi's last twelve months sales have been to undisclosed related parties, and (2) the company's largest customer, representing about 55% of Kandi's last twelve months sales, shares a phone number with a Kandi subsidiary and a Kandi executive. Hindenburg further concludes Kandi's financials corroborate its concerns, noting that "[t]he company has consistently booked revenue it cannot collect, a classic hallmark of fake revenue."

This news drove the price of Kandi shares crashing lower.

"We're focused on, among other things, investor losses and proving Kandi engaged in revenue recognition fraud," said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.

Northern Dynasty Minerals Ltd. (NYSE:NAK) Securities Fraud Class Action:

Class Period: Dec. 21, 2017 - Nov. 25, 2020

Lead Plaintiff Deadline: Feb. 2, 2021

The lawsuit alleges Northern Dynasty and senior executives misled investors about the viability of the company's proposed Pebble Project, a large mining project in Alaska.

In past quarters, Northern Dynasty repeatedly touted its progress in obtaining the necessary permitting for the Pebble Project. The company and senior management also repeatedly assured investors that the Pebble Project design included a substantially reduced development footprint and meaningful new environmental safeguards and, as a result, would likely receive necessary permits from federal, state and local regulatory agencies.

Investors began to learn the truth through a series of partial disclosures beginning on Aug. 24, 2020, when the U.S. Army announced the Pebble Project would significantly degrade the environment, result in significant adverse effects on the aquatic system or human environment, and as proposed "cannot be permitted." This news sent the price of Northern Dynasty shares crashing lower.

On Sept. 21, 2020, the Environmental Investigation Agency released recordings of conversations between Northern Dynasty senior executives and EIA investigators revealing the company's plans to expand the Pebble Project mine operations from 20 years to 180 - 200 years and to expand it geographically.

Finally, on Nov. 25, 2020, Northern Dynasty announced the U.S. Army Corps. of Engineers rejected its Pebble Project permit application under the Clean Water Act, finding the project "is not in the public interest." This news drove the price of Northern Dynasty lower again.

"We're focused on, among other things, investor losses and proving that Northern Dynasty and its senior management intentionally misled investors and manipulated the permitting process to achieve personal compensation for having done so," said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.

Copper Soars to All-time High as Trump Unveils 50 Percent Tariff on Imports

US President Donald Trump said Tuesday (July 8) that he plans to impose a 50 percent tariff on all copper imports, a dramatic escalation of his administration’s use of targeted trade restrictions on national security grounds.

“I believe the tariff on copper, we're going to make 50 percent,” Trump said during a White House cabinet meeting.

Though he did not provide a timeline, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said in a subsequent CNBC interview that the tariff could take effect by late July or as early as August 1, with details to be posted on Trump’s Truth Social account.

Loyal to Acquire the High-Grade Highway Reward Copper Gold Mine

Loyal Metals Limited (ASX:LLM) (Loyal, LLM, or the Company) is pleased to announce that it has acquired a binding option to purchase the Highway Reward Copper Gold Mine in Queensland, Australia, one of the highest-grade copper mines worldwide, with past production totalling 3.65 million tonnes at 5.7% Cu and 260,000 tonnes at 4.5 g/t Au 1-9. This acquisition is the first step in Loyal’s 2025 Strategic Plan to broaden its critical minerals portfolio into copper.

With over $4.4 million in funding, Loyal is well-positioned to revisit the high-grade Highway Reward Copper Gold Mine by deploying modern exploration techniques11.

​Copper​ Market Hit by Major Supply Squeeze as LME Inventories Drop

One of the sharpest copper supply crunches in recent memory is rattling global commodities markets, as inventories at the London Metal Exchange (LME) plummet and the spot price soars.

Bloomberg reported that as of Monday (June 23), copper for immediate delivery was trading at a premium of US$345 per metric ton over three month futures, the widest spread since a record squeeze in 2021.

That dramatic price divergence reflects the market’s acute concerns over access to physical copper, with readily available inventories on the LME falling by around 80 percent this year alone.

Top 10 Copper-producing Companies

Copper miners with productive assets have much to gain as supply and demand tighten.

In May 2024, the copper price hit a new all-time high of US$10,954 per metric ton (MT) on the London Metal Exchange and US$5.20 per pound on the COMEX on the back of increasing demand and growing supply concerns.

Copper is one of the most important resources for the energy transition. However, in recent years, demand for the red metal has outpaced mining supply. While construction and electrical grids have long been major markets for copper, today the rise in demand for electric vehicles, EV charging infrastructure and energy storage applications are emerging drivers of copper consumption.

Another trend driving future copper demand is the rapid urbanization in the Global South, as rural populations migrate to cities, putting pressure on electricity grids.
