Alibaba (NYSE: BABA) shares were down slightly, Tuesday, after an earlier unconfirmed report mistakenly suggested company founder Jack Ma had been detained by police in the city of Hangzhou.

Chinese state television [CCTV] had reported that a person named "Ma" was under investigation for suspicion of violating national security in Hangzhou, where Alibaba ( BABA) is headquartered. That report sent Alibaba's ( BABA) U.S.-traded shares down by almost 2%. However, in Hong Kong, Alibaba's ( BABA) stock price dropped more than 9% before recovering.

Alibaba ( BABA) bounced back after CCTV reported that Jack Ma hadn't been detained for any reason. Apparently, a mistake had been made with the Chinese characters used to create the name "Ma."
