The vast majority of letters of credit (LOCs) issued by beleaguered InsurTech Vesttoo as it built its business have turned out to be fraudulent, the result of an elaborate deception that included impersonation of bank officials, according to findings made public as part of the company’s bankruptcy case.

LOCs issued by China Construction Bank underpinned about $2.8bn
