In March 2018, Kingold Jewelry, Inc filed its 2017 annual report on form 10-K in which the Company stated it "allocated significant portion of its inventories as investment in gold and pledged as collateral to secure loans from banks and financial institutions." Kingold Jewelry, Inc also attested to its accuracy of financial reporting and disclosure of all fraud. Kingold Jewelry, Inc then reaffirmed these statements in its 2018 10-K.

On June 29, 2020, multiple news outlets reported that Kingold Jewelry, Inc may have used counterfeit gold as collateral to secure loans from more than a dozen Chinese financial institutions, reporting that at least some of 83 tons of gold bars used as collateral turned out to be nothing but gilded copper.

Shares of Kingold Jewelry, Inc. (NASDAQ: KGJI) declined from $3.11 per share in October 2019 to as low as 0.43 per share on July 2, 2020.

The plaintiff claims that between March 15, 2018 and June 28, 2020the defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that Kingold Jewelry, Inc. used fake gold as collateral to fraudulently secure loans, that consequently, the Company would face creditor lawsuits and be delisted from the Shanghai Gold Exchange, and that as a result, defendants’ statements about its business, operations, and prospects, were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
