U are a champion Carson. Keep up the great work!

One of the best interviews I have seen. Says it like he sees it.

Loved the interview, particularly the swearing. :) I recall Max Keiser discussing the idea of ethical short selling a few years ago. And he founded a hedge fund for that exact purpose, the Karmabanque hedge fund project. Thank you Real Vision! I think it's time you create RealVision24, a 24 hour financial news program. It would be a smash hit.

What a cool guy.

He makes very good points. I believe that his idea of finding a moral compass and calling out investors and activists is interesting; however, it really needs to be done carefully. I don't think we can presume that everyone has the same morals - what is perfectly acceptable in some cultures and minds is not in others. Also, there can be just as much corruption in exposing presumed bad actors as there hiding presumed bad actors. The idea of bringing out facts and having a discussion is interesting. The idea that he is going to call people out if they have a position in something, without a discussion of both sides of the argument, is fraught with potential unintended consequences imho.

I did something similar to Carson's job for nearly 20 years in Asia but on the corporate distressed debt and private equity side. I cannot tell you hard it is to take people on in a lawless region and I salute him. I've followed Carson's work since his first few reports. Carson is actually becoming a national treasure in my opinion. I hope he has a long long career and I'm glad he is tackling serious US malfeasance now. The Chinese are in another league but you are not going to change them. They almost all come from chaos and poverty. We will never be able to relate. However, in the civilized world, the stuff that's going on in this past decade in the US market is simply disgusting and I want as many of those responsible as possible to pay. I think it was Raoul who recently said on Macro Insiders that once Americans wake up to how much money was "engineered" into the hands of top management instead of investing in productive assets/ideas...we are going to have a rolling wave of scandals leading to something big socially. In my opinion its even worse than the banks last decade - maybe not as much in dollars but in its insidious intent.

Comments about Manulife and Saskatchewan are somewhat disingenuous coming from a financial guy in a country where a good percentage of the industries have regulators in their pockets and lobbying is a national pastime.

Stunningly good interview and a great job interviewing by Brian.

The first time you had Carson on in 2015 it was a great interview. This is another great interview. Carson is a big man who stands up for what is right. Look forward to seeing Carson back in the future.

Great interview and I hope he succeeds on taking the bad actors down.

Amazing stuff. And very important. As the institutional world is wanking off on ESG the same institutions invest in very shady companies in China and indirectly (or directly) support a totalitarian regime. Keep up the fight!

Peeling back the onion. Fascinating. Here is a VBLOG on youtube that is very insightful as well about life in China for foreigners. Once one gets past the veneer, it gets dicey. https://www.youtube.com/user/churchillcustoms

Discussion Point: how can China ever 'take over' the (financial) world when rule of law is absent and the frauds go unpunished/unchecked? Will GS or Boeing or Google ever domicile in the PRC? Do such American companies matter? What about the financial leverage the US has?

Brian, sensational. Congrats on bringing it all out with a fantastic interview. Please up your workload; I am not sure why RVTV persists with those videos with 'written questions' when you (and Grant and Justine and all) are able to entice so much more out of the guests!

the truth can set us free! thank you Carson! JV

Yup...financial services and insurance are very, very "clubby" in Canada. Same for telecommunications.......

One of the best guests on RV. It would be great if you could get him to do a reoccurring series or a course type series on short selling and how to spot a fraud.

I love this guy and I love Muddy Waters. One of the best things about RV is that it peels back the veneer in the finance industry. For those of us who have finance backgrounds or are retail investors but are not investment professionals embedded in the belly of the beast, it's hard to see past the opacity. These guys, RV, short sellers, Muddy Waters in particular, they do that for us. It's invaluable.

31:10 - LM friggin AO Love this guy

great interview. wud've loved to hear his thots on tesla!

Excellent video. RV are hitting it out of the park every week, often multiple times a week. There’s been some exceptional content recently. To the 19 downvotes (as I write), I can only say you’re in the wrong place (or Chinese?).

Very good, Carson has job security. There are a lot of gamer's out in the financial cess pool.

love it, that is a shortseller I like

Great Interview. He truly has the insight of how so called Chinese private companies operate. In china, there is nothing called private. Everything is owned by the CCP mafia, period. The whole economy is fraud, even worth, the CCP full of shit and total fraud since day one.

Love the unfiltered version of Carson Block.......REAL on REAL vision... reminds me of a certain chicken farmer

LOL. "We tend to think of our friends to the north as a first world country, but." Trudeau and his fellow idiots have taken Canada back to the 3rd world

This guy is awesome. More please!

Great interview. It may come to the point where influential missionaries tell the American people that doing business with the PRC is immoral. Currently, the missionaries with the loudest bullhorns are saying we should fear raising the cost of doing business with China (tariffs), despite the IP theft, dumping, and financial crimes outlined in this interview. At some point morality has to have a voice. The moral position is the communist dictatorship of China is evil and supporting China’s communist government in their unethical business dealings is like the sell side analysts supporting immoral companies mentioned in this interview. Thank you Real Vision.

Very interesting stuff. It reminds me that its time we had John Hempton back as well.

Very insightful interview. If one is going to invest on a moral compass shouldn't McDonald's, Coke and Hershey's also be excluded from long investment? Obesity kills a lot more people than opioids, firearms or alcohol. They also target children with their advertising.

Excellent interview; thanks for the short time between interview and publication

Great Interview... One of Your Best !!!

Brilliant interview well done RV and CB

“Guanxinated” - speechless.

Extraordinary interview!

Please have Carson on again - fantastic stuff.

I know that I am not an exception in this regard. Make no mistake, if one has a moral compass, that compass also impacts investment decisions.

I for one have had an opportunity to invest in a bank tied to investment in coal fired power stations, and chose not to despite the higher returns.

...have morals (or are capable of having morals). If we CHOOSE to ignore the moral implications of our investments, then that is our choice. But it is a choice, whether conscious or subconscious.

This is fascinating - need to watch the last part again. I respectfully disagree that “investing is inherently an amoral activity.” No way - it is done by humans and humans (last time I checked) gave

Excellent - thanks RV.

Incredible content. I'm curious what other brave short sellers are out there that I should be listening to.

Very interesting interview.

Mr. Block should run for public office. Seriously.

Is RV accessible out of China? Adding together the Bass interviews, this one and others exposing China, this must come as a shock if one is not aware of what's going on.

Another great one. Thank you!

I honestly don't know how you guys manage to surpass yourself everytime. As an aspiring entrepreneur, it's really inspiring. I have been a subscriber for a year now, and I really can't remember how i got my news before. And I have stopped watching the news. THE NEWS

I think it's healthy right now to beat up China a little bit. They need to be slapped. They have no respect for America. I can't imagine the US government giving American companies the green light to cheat and scam Chinese companies. The Bretton Woods system is what allows China to be a unified country. They had it easy but not for long.

I have been wanting to see a follow up on frauds since watching the one and only interview on this topic with Harry Markopolos. I have never heard of Carson Block and loved the content and learnt a lot. I loved the decision to warn Fund managers about companies pushing opioids, that was disgraceful and had no idea this is going on. Great work by Real Vision

Cool...here for good!

Fantastic. Thank you

Bravo Real Vision! A breath of fresh air.
