FORMER DIRECTORS OF SG’S EAGLE HOSPITALITY TRUST FOUND IN CONTEMPT BY US COURT
#1

Singapore’s Eagle Hospitality Trust could soon make history as the first Singapore REIT to have directors or former directors arrested on two continents, following a US court judgement handed out on Monday.

The US Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware has found Howard Wu and Taylor Woods, both former directors of the failed hotel REIT, in contempt for failure to comply with a preliminary injunction that sought to freeze the pair’s assets. Eagle Hospitality Trust effectively collapsed in January of this year when 27 entities linked to its US properties filed for bankruptcy.

Fraud. The hotel assets were in US but people behind it were from China

They mark up the assets by 300% of market price then put into the REITs.

The Queen Mary assets is worth zero as it comes with obligation to maintain and fix the ship which will cost hundreds of millions. It was put in the reits as $200M.
Because they could not meet the obligations, the asset was confiscated.

The entire hotel portforlio was worth less than the debt. They collected the IPO and recover all the money they paid for the hotel plus profits.

I had a long thread in the old forum that explained the entire fraud before the company collapsed....and told people to exit.

It's good that the law was broken in US where they are very strick against fraud. Also there is a recovery process that seize the assets of the crooks and liquidate to pay those who were cheated.

Ever heard of Carlton Travel Wagon-lit or Carlton Hotels Worldwide?

They help Hotel owners in India, China, Australia . . . manage their Hotels. So behind these hotels, the Mgmt and Owners are different group of people.

Why do we need 5 Mayors and 80 PAP Ministers?

The author is a masters degree holder and an instructor of investing masterclass yet he can make such an error on analysis by believing the numbers released by the company.

It goes to show integrity of management js still number one in terms of importance.

My final warning to him and his masterclass readers.

Wah, you do detailed analysis for each stock huh? Do you also calculate the intrinsic values of the companies? I read somewhere there're many ways to define intrinsic values so which do you use? Is there something like a free calculator to do all these?
