Lawyer: Even if ofo goes bankrupt and liquidates, it will be difficult to get the deposit back
Recently, ofo has been in deep crisis. As of 20:37 on December 18, the number of users waiting in line to return their deposits had exceeded 10 million. If calculated at 99 yuan per person, ofo would need to return a total of about 1 billion yuan in deposits, but if calculated at 199 yuan per person, ofo would need to return nearly 2 billion yuan in deposits.
Whether users can successfully get their deposits back has become a topic of public concern. In this regard, Huang Zhiguo, a senior consultant at Dacheng Law Firm who was involved in the Xiaoming Bike case, said: "If there is bankruptcy liquidation, the user deposit will be ranked last. The Bankruptcy Law clearly stipulates that during bankruptcy liquidation, repayments shall be made in order of priority. The first to be repaid are bankruptcy liquidation expenses, state taxes, secured claims, employee wages, etc. The money that should be returned to customers is placed second to last in the repayment order. The deposit is an unsecured claim and is ranked at the end of the repayment order, so it is difficult to get it back. The Xiaoming Bike case we handled was in a very similar situation."

Investment bank Jefferies lowers its iPhone revenue forecast, below Wall Street expectations
According to foreign media reports, investment bank Jefferies has become the latest Wall Street firm to lower its expectations for Apple's stock price due to the weakness of the iPhone supply chain.
The firm cut its 2019 iPhone revenue forecast by 3% and Apple's profit forecast by 4%. Jefferies now expects Apple to sell about 72 million iPhones in the first quarter of next year and 206 million iPhones for the full year. This is lower than Wall Street's expectations of 74 million and 210 million, respectively.
Jefferies analyst Timothy O'Shea is still bullish on Apple, saying: "Apple's iPhone business still seems to be sufficient to build a large, high-margin service business over time. In the next earnings report, Apple will disclose the gross margin of its service business for the first time."
