RE: Who hired Carson Block?>Lawyers for Northwest and Ethical Investments LP (NEI), which manages Ethical Funds, and Comité syndical national de retraite Bâtirente inc., a Quebec labour-sponsored pension fund, filed their lawsuit on Monday in Ontario Superior Court, seeking $5.8-billion in damages for investors who lost money on Sino-Forest.<
>The plaintiffs, who were both investors in Sino-Forest, say they raised issues over the company’s corporate governance earlier this year, BEFORE the release in June of the critical report by short-seller Carson Block and his firm, Muddy Waters, that accused Sino-Forest of fraud.
According to a news release sent out by the plaintiffs’ lawyers, both NEI Investments and Bâtirente withheld their votes for MOST of Sino-Forest’s directors at the firm’s annual general meeting in May.<

Before Carson appeared, some investors already knew/suspected SF was corrupt.
Was the whole Carson caper staged in order get the crooks on the BOD out of trouble?
Who are Carson's REAL China connections?
Just how far down the rabbit hole does the corruption go?
