Le.com (formerly LeTV), as the first online video company listed in A shares in China, which plays a role as a weather vane for the online video industry, was reported to had committed financial fraud for up to ten years from 2007 to 2016, mainly by fabricating business with related companies and third-party companies to construct a false capital cycle. On May 2, 2021, the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) issued a penalty decision. By introducing the background of Le.com and its main fraud methods, based on the three major reasons of case analysis and fraud triangle theory, this paper focuses on the problems of its ownership concentration and imperfect audit system, and analyzes the specific motivation analysis of Le.com financial fraud.
