Golden Heaven went public in April 2023 as an amusement-park operator in China. Investors later said the company’s public story about its parks and business metrics did not match conditions on the ground.
On November 13, 2023, Hindenburg published posts on X accusing Golden Heaven of lying to investors about the state of its park business. The report challenged the company’s attendance claims, said its facilities showed deterioration, and said site visits to all six parks showed extremely low attendance.
The report also raised concerns about the company’s leadership and the firms tied to the offering. Investors say those issues, together with the park findings, showed that Golden Heaven had misled the market about attendance rates, facility conditions, and the real condition of its amusement-park operations.
$GDHG fell 27.9% after the report. Investors then pursued state and federal securities claims, and the parties have now agreed to a proposed $1.7 million settlement.
