One of the most vocal critics of the mining giant Bitmain Twitter user BTCKING555 reported that the number of investors is preparing a class action lawsuit against the company in the jurisdiction of Hong Kong with the aim to recover their investments after the expiration of the application for the IPO.
3/ already in august I warned many investors and prevented them from investing. Those that did not listen, good luck recovering your moneys. I hear there is a class action in the works in Hong Kong.

He also claims that last summer Bitmain was able to raise $700 million, and that’s saved the company from bankruptcy. However, investors expect that with the IPO the value of their shares will increase significantly, which is still not happened.
2/ Noone will go nowhere near Bitmain for funding and expect litigation for investors try to recover their moneys. If not for the summer $700 mln fund-raise, Bitmain would be bankrupt now. Jihan and CFO lied on numbers and investors (Softbank, Tencent) to lock in capital
