How many collateral scams are going on in China? Zero Hedge has reported that a borrower named Magic Property is now set to default on a CNY196 million Trust that was arranged by Citic Trust. Magic invested in an office building in Chongqing. They ran into financial problems in mid 2013 at which point Citic attemped to auction the collateral.

Did they steal that straight from the MF Global instruction manual? (VIEW LINK)
