The firm generated public reports via its website that allege corporate fraud and malfeasance. Companies that were the subjects of their reports include Super Micro Computer, Adani Group, Nikola, Clover Health, Block, Inc., Kandi, and Lordstown Motors. The reports also featured defenses of the practice of short-selling and explanations of how short-sells “play a critical role in exposing fraud and protecting investors.” The firm disbanded in January 2025 with a note on its website from Anderson. At the time, the Wall Street Journal described it as “Wall Street’s Pre-Eminent Short Seller”. Carvana was the subject of Hindenburg’s final report before announcing its closure.
