Myanmar coup latest: Security forces kill more than 90 protesters: media reports

 

Saturday, March 27

 

6:20 p.m. Security forces killed more than 90 people across Myanmar on Saturday in one of the bloodiest days of protests since a military coup last month, news reports and witnesses said. According to the Myanmar Now news portal, 91 people were killed across the country by security forces. A boy reported by local media to be as young as five was among at least 29 people killed in Mandalay. At least 24 people were killed in Yangon.

1:00 p.m. Eight countries Russia, China, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Vietnam, Laos and Thailand have sent representatives to the Armed Forces Day military parade in Naypyitaw, Nikkei has learned. The representatives were military attaches; Russia also sent its deputy defense minister.

12:00 p.m. Security forces shoot and kill at least 16 protesters on Saturday, news reports and witnesses say. Protests took place in Yangon, Mandalay and other towns and cities. At least four people were killed when security forces opened fire on a crowd outside a police station in Yangon's Dala suburb in the early hours of Saturday, Myanmar Now reported. Three people were shot and killed in a protest in the Insein district of the city, a resident told Reuters. Four people were killed in Lashio town in the east, and four in separate incidents in the Bago region near Yangon, according to media outlets. One person was killed in the town of Hopin in the northeast.

10:30 a.m. The junta holds a military parade in Naypyitaw to celebrate the annual Armed Forces Day. Senior Gen. Min Aung Hlaing gave a speech and reiterated a promise to hold elections, without mentioning a schedule. He also welcomed the presence of the Russians at the ceremony and said, "Russia is a true friend."

 

Friday, March 26

11:00 p.m. The special Envoy of the United Nations Secretary-General on Myanmar, Christine Schraner Burgener, issues a call for restraint ahead of Armed Forces Day. "Tomorrow, Armed Forces Day, marks Myanmar's liberation from foreign power," the envoy says in a statement. "Ensuring peace and defending the people should be the responsibility of any military, but in Myanmar, the Tatmadaw has turned against its own citizens."

10:00 p.m. With activists calling for anti-coup demonstrations on Myanmar's Armed Forces Day on Saturday, state-run television issues a grim warning. Protesters heading into the streets are in danger of being shot in the head or back, according to a MRTV news channel broadcast. Last week, the United Nations' acting resident and humanitarian coordinator in Myanmar, Andrew Kirkwood, told a U.N. session that many protesters "have been killed through gunshots to the head by snipers for peaceful demonstrations."

Goldman Sold $10.5 Billion of Stocks in Block-Trade Spree

 

Goldman Sachs Group Inc. liquidated $10.5 billion worth of stocks in block trades on Friday, part of an extraordinary spree of selling that erased $35 billion from the values of bellwether stocks ranging from Chinese technology giants to U.S. media conglomerates. The Wall Street bank sold $6.6 billion worth of shares of Baidu Inc., Tencent Music Entertainment Group and Vipshop Holdings Ltd. before the market opened in the U.S, according to an email to clients seen by Bloomberg News.

 

That move was followed by the sale of $3.9 billion of shares in ViacomCBS Inc., Discovery Inc., Farfetch Ltd., iQiyi Inc. and GSX Techedu Inc., the email said. More of the unregistered stock offerings were said to be managed by Morgan Stanley, according to people familiar with the matter, on behalf of one or more undisclosed shareholders. Some of the trades exceeded $1 billion in individual companies, calculations based on Bloomberg data show. Maeve DuVally, a Goldman Sachs spokeswoman, declined to comment. A spokesperson for Morgan Stanley declined to comment. The liquidation triggered price swings for every stock involved in the high-volume transactions, while rattling some of their industry counterparts. It also spurred speculation among some traders of forced selling by a fund being liquidated. Several major investment banks with ties toTiger Cub hedge fund Archegos Capital Management LLCliquidated holdings, contributing to the slump in share prices of ViacomCBS and Discovery, IPO Edge reported, citing people it didnโ€™t identify.

 

In block trades, large volumes of securities are privately negotiated between parties, usually outside of open market. Fridayโ€™s selloff dragged companies including Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. and NetEase Inc. lower. The peers later recovered after traders said word of the offerings lessened fears that a broader trade was unfolding throughout the sector. That late rebound pushed up an index of companies engaged in internet-related businesses in China and the U.S., with the measure halting a three-day selloff while still notching a slide of about 6.5% for the week.

 

Chinese stocks have been under pressure after a warning from the Securities and Exchange Commission that itโ€™s taking steps to force accounting firms to let U.S. regulators review the financial audits of overseas companies โ€“ the penalty for non-compliance being ejection from exchanges. In addition to that, Bloomberg News reported that Chinaโ€™s government has proposed forming a joint venture with local technology giants that would oversee the lucrative data they collect.

Archegos Capital was founded by the former Tiger Management equity analyst, Bill Hwang.

Bill Hwang โ€” Tiger Asia

Bill Hwang founded Tiger Asia, which is based in New York, in 2001 after working for Julian Robertson at Tiger Management. Using a traditional long/short strategy of the Tiger Cubs, Bill Hwang at one point controlled $3 billion in outside capital. However, at the end of 2012 Tiger Asia decided to return outside capital to investors, after what it described as a โ€œprolonged legal situation.โ€

 

The situation in question was a three-year insider trading investigation by the Hong Kong authorities into allegations of trading improprieties at the hedge fund. Bill Hwang had admitted using insider information to trade stocks of Bank of China Ltd. and China Construction Bank Corp. in December 2008 and January 2009, and manipulating the share price of China Construction Bank in January 2009.

 

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) began its own investigation in October 2010. Not until December 2013 was the Tiger Asia case finally settled in both Hong Kong and the United States. Tiger Asia pleaded guilty and agreed to pay settlements for illicit gains and law enforcement penalties issued by the SFC and SEC.

 

The SFC sought to freeze Tiger Asiaโ€™s assets in 2009, alleging the hedge fund traded on insider information from bankers arranging placement Bank of China and China Construction Bank that year. But the SFCโ€™s action was challenged by Tiger Asia, which argued the regulator had no jurisdiction to freeze its assets in the city without a pre-existing criminal conviction for market misconduct or similar finding from a civil tribunal.

 

In December of 2013, a Hong Kong court ordered Tiger Asia Management to pay US$5.8 million to some 1,800 local and overseas investors affected by their insider trading involving two Hong Kong-listed banks. Fines paid to the SEC totaled $60.3 million in U.S. criminal and civil settlements.

 

Bill Hwang and Tiger Asia have been banned from trading in Hong Kong.

 

Since inception Tiger Asia returned around 15% per annum for clients, handily beating all benchmarks. Tiger Asia has changed the company name to Archegos Capital Management LLC and no longer manages outside capital.-and no longer has a web-site
