Chinese group buy site 24Quan.com announced Wednesday that it has completed eight-digit USD third-round funding. 24Quan declined to provide any further details, saying only that this round of funding will be used to support R&D of services and products and to increase the site's number of partnerships, adding that the company expects to turn profitable before the end of 2011.

Editor's Note: 24Quan did not disclose the source of the alleged funding, and is making this announcement after a string of recent rumors that the company has lost its funding source, defrauded merchants, and slashed its workforce. For more background on this topic, please see:
