The case in brief

Visible before detection

    Checks that could have surfaced it, on hindsight

    1

    End-use tracing of funds

    Would have traced loans used to buy the bank's own shares.

    Can mislead when: Kubr sees only the company's own accounts. Once money reaches a third party's bank, Kubr can flag the payee but cannot see the next hop without that party's consent.

    2

    Governance signals

    Would have reviewed board independence.

    Can mislead when: Private companies file late, so these signals are lagging. Kubr uses them to support other flags, not to prove anything alone.

    3

    Document authenticity / direct pull

    Would have tested the self-set share price.

    Can mislead when: The company can refuse consent, and a refusal is itself a flag. Some banks and co-op banks are not on AA yet.

    Mapped from the checks each service runs. A hindsight reading of public records, not a promise that the failure would have been found.

    A summary of public documents. It reports what the sources say. It is not Kubr's finding and not a statement of guilt.
