Equity crowdfunding project accused of fraud; lawsuit against TMTPost dismissed
In 2016, TMTPost reported that projects on the 36Kr equity crowdfunding platform were suspected of fraud, that the project party's actual performance was seriously inconsistent with financing-time forecasts, and that investors suffered losses. 36Kr said the report was false and sued TMTPost, demanding deletion of the article, an apology, and 1 million yuan in compensation. The court of first instance found the report basically true and not constituting reputation infringement, and dismissed all of 36Kr's claims. 36Kr's crowdfunding business reputation was damaged.
