The behavior of corporate executives who manipulate stock prices to profit and conceal the misappropriation of company assets usually involves a series of complex and illegal operations. These behaviors not only violate the law, but also seriously damage the interests of the company and the fairness of the market. Here are some common methods: 1. **Publishing misleading information**: Executives may deliberately release false positive news or conceal negative information to influence the stock price to rise or suppress the stock price to fall. This behavior can increase the company's stock price in the short term, allowing executives to sell their shares at a higher price to make a profit. 2. **Insider trading**: Executives who have undisclosed information inside the company may use this information to buy and sell stocks for personal gain. This usually involves buying or selling stocks in advance before the information is made public. 3. **Stock buyback**: Executives may push the company to repurchase stocks to reduce the number of shares circulating in the market, thereby increasing earnings per share and stock prices, thereby increasing the value of executive stock options. 4. **Accounting fraud**: By tampering with financial statements to exaggerate the company's performance, investors are misled into thinking that the company is doing well, thereby pushing up stock prices. This method can help executives sell stocks at a higher stock price to make a profit. 5. **Related-party transactions and profit transfers**: Executives may transfer company assets to companies or accounts controlled by individuals through unfair transactions with related parties. This behavior is often concealed by complex transaction structures and false contracts. 6. **False contracts and invoices**: By forging contracts and invoices, executives can embezzle company funds and then hide these illegal gains through various means. Once discovered, these behaviors will lead to serious legal consequences, including criminal charges, fines, and great damage to the company's reputation and financial condition. Therefore, strengthening the company's internal compliance management and audit system is crucial to preventing such risks. At the same time, strict supervision and enforcement by regulators are also important factors in preventing such behavior.
