Through a separate, undisclosed arrangement, Hitachi paid the front company an additional $ 1 million in“ success fees” that were inaccurately booked as consulting fees without appropriate documentation.”

81“ The Shanghai debut of China’ s first yuan-denominated crude futures trading market on Monday proved a great success, with major domestic and foreign traders displaying active interest. Total turnover amounted to 18.3 billion yuan($ 2.9 billion) on the first trading day. // The market’ s better-than-expected performance is believed to have significantly contributed to the recent strength of the yuan on global currency markets. // As China largely depends on crude imports, price volatility in the commodity market is a major impediment. It launched the crude futures market to address the problem and also to gain more pricing power over the crucial commodity. // An important move by Beijing to open up its financial sector, the new crude benchmark has garnered increasing attention, because it challenges the current dollar-dominated pricing scheme of crude oil markets- commonly known as the petrodollar system- which helps underpin the dollar’ s status as the major international reserve currency.”
