Even if it's not done out of malice and it's purely out of ignorance, to the end user/buyer, what difference does it make? Investors and employees alike protested in front of Evergrande office regardless, and owners are still left without a complete home, or without one entirely.
And are you really trying to give them a pass? A company so large they couldn't afford to make proper financial forecast and decisions? A country so powerful and literally has hands in private businesses, they couldn't see potential problems with it? Really? There were signs of a housing bubble since 2010!
Surprise surprise, China did end up actually detaining the chairman of Evergrande and some of it's senior employees for misusing funds. Makes so much sense.
