Why It Matters: Hindenburg had launched a scathing report on Adani in 2023, which wiped more than $100 billion in market value of the group’s companies and eventually led to U.S. prosecutors indicting founder Adani for alleged fraud.
The short seller first gained widespread attention in 2020 when it published a report exposing fraud at electric vehicle maker Nikola Corp. (NASDAQ:NKLA). This exposé ultimately resulted in a four-year prison sentence for Nikola founder Trevor Milton on fraud charges.
The activist hedge fund’s recent targets included Icahn Enterprises (NASDAQ:IEP) and Block Inc. (NYSE:SQ). Their final report accused Carvana Company (NYSE:CVNA) of accounting irregularities, which the company denied.
Hindenburg’s shutdown follows a trend of prominent short-sellers like Jim Chanos retiring. Founder Anderson plans to document Hindenburg’s methods, hoping to inspire future market watchdogs.
