No one was ever prosecuted

Okay, so Krakow's been running
his mouth about China, right?

Last year, he said,
"watching factories grow."

It made me wonder, "How's he seeing this?"

Okay. You have two minutes.

After your dispute with Krakow,
I presumed roiling antipathy,
225
00:09:28,737 --> 00:09:30,540
so I catalogued all of
his public statements
226
00:09:30,541 --> 00:09:32,143
going back two years.
227
00:09:32,144 --> 00:09:35,115
In January 2016, Krakow's
tone on China changed...
228
00:09:35,116 --> 00:09:37,153
more bullish, omniscient,
229
00:09:37,154 --> 00:09:40,259
which led me to think satellite images.
230
00:09:40,260 --> 00:09:41,896
[Bobby] So what?
231
00:09:41,897 --> 00:09:44,167
All the big funds are
using satellite images.
232
00:09:44,168 --> 00:09:46,472
How many cars are in the

But this, let me see.
235
00:09:57,629 --> 00:10:00,132
You found out which
satellite company Krakow uses.
236
00:10:00,133 --> 00:10:01,469
[Taylor] AR Metrics.
237
00:10:01,470 --> 00:10:03,439

be the biggest user...

what he's been looking at.

00:10:07,448 --> 00:10:09,785
A microchip factory in
the Pearl River Delta.

Since you're in my office,

you think you know what he doesn't.

China's not just cooking the books,

Everyone knows that, Mafee.
Then why is Krakow long?

Come on, time's almost up.
What happened in January 2016?
248
00:10:24,816 --> 00:10:26,986
The Chinese factory
went from totally dormant
249
00:10:26,987 --> 00:10:28,723
to bustling with trucking activity.
250
00:10:28,724 --> 00:10:30,694
Which meant foreign investment followed.
251
00:10:30,695 --> 00:10:32,364
But tell me what really happened.
252
00:10:32,365 --> 00:10:34,535
An article came out on satellite-detected
253
00:10:34,536 --> 00:10:36,237
discrepancies between Chinese sites
254
00:10:36,238 --> 00:10:38,843
and what had been reported
by government statistics.
255
00:10:38,844 --> 00:10:41,282
[Bobby] And after that, they
knew they were being watched,
256
00:10:41,283 --> 00:10:44,187
so the trucks started moving...
a show for the satellites.
257
00:10:44,188 --> 00:10:47,193
Factory's a fake. It's a
shell to milk investors.

It's not good enough.
