On 16th January, Thursday Hindenburg’s founder announced the shutting down of his investigative research firm in a 1300-word long letter, where he expressed the complement of his aspired work as the reason for quitting the firm. After clearing out an ambitious amount of work by exposing multi-millionaire companies and corporations, shutting down Hindenburg’s research raises various questions and conspiracy theories.
Founder’s Letter
Nathan Anderson, founder of Hindenburg Research, gave the readers farewell with a letter note expressing his gratitude to his family, friends, and readers. He explained his wish to spend more time with his family and friends, especially his spouse. He reasoned the shutdown by saying, “The plan has been to wind up after we finished the pipeline of ideas we were working on”. Additionally, he denied the reasons such as threats, health issues, or personal issues, and said the farewell from him comes out from joy. He was not clear about his future career plans; However, he strongly promoted the image of his 11 colleagues.
He also apologized to his family and friends for not being available to them often. This factor seemed to have contributed to his decision to quit the Research Firm. He ended the note with gratitude towards the readers.
The speculations
Although the founder has cleared his side with a letter on the official page of Hindenburg Research, various speculations are surfing around the Internet. The Closing of the firm is connected to the firm’s various endeavors of taking down big business giants, and its model of working with hedge funds and more.
An Indian stock market expert who goes by the name of Ajay Bagga shared his rationale behind the disbanding of the organization by stating these five reasons, that the organization operated in a grey area, publishing negative reports and taking undisclosed short positions through hedge funds. The firm was driven by profit, not altruism, as they sought to capitalize on scathing reports while shorting these companies, according to Bagga.
Links with Hedge fund
As the organization disbanded, explosive documents from a Canadian court took the internet by storm revealing Hindenburg’s alleged Partake in a hedge fund based in Toronto called Anson Funds. Hindenburg consistently received information from Anson Funds, as indicated by the court documents. These details were first reported by a Canadian portal called Market Fraud, which included an email chain between Anderson and Anson citing the identical documents.
Short-selling organizations, such as Anson and Hindenburg Research, are permitted to share their research publicly. However, the failure to disclose hedge fund involvement is considered securities fraud by the SEC. Anson Funds was fined by the SEC last June for not reporting a payment received to publish a negative research report.
Anson Funds and Nate Anderson are accused of multiple counts of securities fraud and will face charges when the case is brought before the SEC, according to a Canadian portal called The Market Frauds.
The Indian regulator, Sebi, announced that the report on the Adani group included findings related to two beneficiaries of hedge funds. One of these beneficiaries is Mark Kingdon, a hedge fund manager based in New York, and the other is a broker from Kotak Mahindra Bank in India. Hindenburg’s report on Adani Group washed away several millions of worth of shares of the business group shareholders.
Hindenburg’s alleged involvement with hedge funds is said to be the most substantial reason for the firm’s closure.
Run by the Deep State?
The term “deep state” refers to a group of powerful people, usually from government agencies or the military, who are thought to secretly influence or control government policies. There are theories and accusations of Hindenburg research run by the deep state. Now that new elected 47th president has arrived, this firm is getting shut down, as calculated by the internet opinions.
In addition to all the speculations and interpretations, Founder Nathan Anderson’s letter serves as the official statement regarding his personal rationale for closing the Hindenburg Research firm.
