Apologies for additional email but two new points: Photo 1 below shows that two tutors confirmed GSX started to default salaries payment In July. The tutor said in 1st paragraph: "even salary not paid, all depends on drawing a big cake to feed hunger." Photo 2 We have watched many http://genshuixue.com and http://gaotu100.com courses, vast majorities of gaotu courses including its star-teacher Guodong Chen and Suai Zhou have less than 10 students commented during whole promotional class; attached is a screenshot of http://genshuixue.com course just finished this morning, the teacher left the classroom before half scheduled class time after confirmed with tutors that no student left in the classroom. Note July -September is best time for recruiting students therefore bring in cash flows. Schools have restarted after September so there would be very minimal of new enrollment activities thereafter.

Fake LinkedIn profiles: GSX has attempted to boost their LinkedIn employee count by creating fake profiles. This has been alleged by others but I found more proof - 4 specific instances where they used 'stock photos' of models or actors. Please see attached PDF. 2. GSX Class Offerings: GSX is allowing students to register for a class that already started on August 2nd and there already had 12 sessions (picture below; yellow circle). This is unethical. In addition, they are collecting money *7 months* ahead of a class that starts April 21, 2021. (picture below; red circle). Finally they list "A total of 16 eligible classes" being offered but only 12 are listed below (please note, there was no additional page). 3. Allegations of Payroll Improprieties: See below screenshots of alleged GSX employees discussing that employee social contributions have not been paid. They are accusing their employer of cheating on their payroll surcharge remittance. I cannot say with certainty the accuracy of these comments but feel it's imperative that they be investigated considering all of the other improprieties that have been discovered. 4. Class size discrepancies: GSX number 1 star-teacher wrote that each class has only 30 students. Larry Chen said himself in 2017 that each small class was aimed to have 25-30 students but according to GSX earnings report, each small class has over 300 students.
