The company had several trust products but investors in 2019 never received money they asked for. Dongguan Trust Co. Ltd., which investigated Kingold in order to liquidate its capital, found that some purported gold bars used as collateral were copper with gold plating.[2] The loans were to be worth $2.8 billion U.S. dollars.[3]
