Ideanomics contacted a source cited by Hindenburg, Chen Xiandeng, a new junior sales manager at Fu Da.

When Hindenburg asked Mr. Chen about if he knew about Ideanomics or MEG, he replied that he is aware of the joint venture but he is not privy to the details. Mr. Chen also explained to Hindenburg that his responsibility is to sell cars and that this information is reserved for company executives. Mr. Chen refutes Hindenburg's claims that he said that he has never heard of Ideanomics or MEG. As of May 1, Ideanomics' JV has resumed the property lease including Fu Da's business, and will add electric vehicle (EV) sales and financing services.
