    ZST Digital Networks: Deceptive Business, Bad Investment

    Wed, 11/03/2010 - 06:41 EDT - Seeking Alpha

    Ben Axler submits:ZST Digital Networks (ZSTN) came public in October 2009 and raised $25 million by offering 3.1m shares at $8 per share. The offering was led by Rodman & Renshaw and Westpark Capital, two ubiquitous underwriters in the market for bringing Chinese companies public in the U.S. through reverse takeovers (RTOs). There are plenty of recent examples of why investors should be highly skeptical of purchasing shares in these Chinese RTO companies. Many lack transparency, internal controls, exaggerate their financial performance and assets, have weak governance, and in some cases are outright frauds. Look no further than China-Biotics (CHBT), Orient Paper (ONP), Douyuan Printing (DYP), China New Borun (BORN), China Marine Food Group (CMFO), Fuqi Int’l (FUQI), and China Northeast Petroleum (NEP) as cautionary examples.Complete Story »
