Chapter 748: Shit-Stirrer
“We received a tip-off claiming that Richard, the late president of Harmony Capital who committed suicide out of guilt, once bribed key personnel at the Financial Certification Authority to greenlight Harmony’s IPO.”
“In his suicide note, there’s even a vague mention implicating the current Minister of Finance.”
“Before airing this episode, we reviewed similar cases from the past decade—over 200 cases involved collusion between certification officials and finance ministry personnel. Bribes were paid to grant approvals or listings to companies that did not meet imperial standards.”
“This isn’t the first corruption scandal we’ve seen. There were hundreds before it. And it won’t be the last—because the Finance Minister is still in office.”
“We don’t know where they got the courage to act like this. A few favors, some cash, and they feel entitled to ignore the interests of the nation and its people—to trample the law.”
“The Harmony Capital scandal shows us that while we live in the sunlight, we also live in shadows.”
“How many more problematic companies have slipped through using similar means—securing credentials or even IPO status—we still don’t know.”
“I urge our government, and His Majesty the Emperor, to launch a full audit of all listed companies to prevent another Harmony Capital and to protect our financial safety.”
“If this investigation is allowed to continue, I personally hope it goes to the very end—so the truth can be returned to the people.”
