The incident of logistics finance crisis of steel traders in Shanghai refers to that some steel traders lacking integrity colluded with some bank staffs to borrow cash from the bank by means of pledging goods which have already been pledged by other banks many times. Such illicit practice eventually induced huge loss to many banks and iron and steel enterprises. As a result, this incident caused a wide-spread shock to the logistics financial industry.
