No one was ever prosecuted

00:08:43,739 --> 00:08:46,911
Okay, so Krakow's been running
his mouth about China, right?

- The way he talks?
- Yeah.

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
00:09:28,962 --> 00:09:30,765
so I catalogued all of
his public statements
226
00:09:30,766 --> 00:09:32,368
going back two years.
227
00:09:32,369 --> 00:09:35,340
In January 2016, Krakow's
tone on China changed...
228
00:09:35,341 --> 00:09:37,378
more bullish, omniscient,
229
00:09:37,379 --> 00:09:40,484
which led me to think satellite images.
230
00:09:40,485 --> 00:09:42,121
[Bobby] So what?
231
00:09:42,122 --> 00:09:44,392
All the big funds are
using satellite images.
232
00:09:44,393 --> 00:09:46,697
How many cars are in the
parking lot at Walmart

But this, let me see.
235
00:09:57,854 --> 00:10:00,357
You found out which
satellite company Krakow uses.
236
00:10:00,358 --> 00:10:01,694
[Taylor] AR Metrics.
237
00:10:01,695 --> 00:10:03,664

be the biggest user...

[Bobby] Their most-viewed images,

what he's been looking at.

00:10:07,673 --> 00:10:10,010
A microchip factory in
the Pearl River Delta.

Since you're in my office,

00:10:14,052 --> 00:10:15,755
you think you know what he doesn't.
244

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
00:10:25,041 --> 00:10:27,211
The Chinese factory
went from totally dormant
249
00:10:27,212 --> 00:10:28,948
to bustling with trucking activity.
250
00:10:28,949 --> 00:10:30,919
Which meant foreign investment followed.
251
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:32,589
But tell me what really happened.
252
00:10:32,590 --> 00:10:34,760
An article came out on satellite-detected
253
00:10:34,761 --> 00:10:36,462
discrepancies between Chinese sites
254
00:10:36,463 --> 00:10:39,068
and what had been reported
by government statistics.
255
00:10:39,069 --> 00:10:41,507
[Bobby] And after that, they
knew they were being watched,
256
00:10:41,508 --> 00:10:44,412
so the trucks started moving...
a show for the satellites.
257
00:10:44,413 --> 00:10:47,418
Factory's a fake. It's a
shell to milk investors.

And what is the next move?

- Short the...

It's not good enough.
