Accor SA AC

Accor markets itself as an anti-trafficking leader, yet 80% of its hotels accepted Grizzly's red-flagged bookings for underage girls and CEO Bazin allegedly sits in Epstein's orbit.

Super Group (SGHC) Limited SGHC

HelloFresh's core meal-kit business is in terminal decline while CEO Dominik Richter pledges 77% of his stock to fund his brother's leveraged real-estate empire — a margin call could crater the stock.

HelloFresh's CEO has pledged 77% of his shares to fund brother's real estate, driving an EUR100m buyback to avert margin calls while the meal-kit business structurally collapses.

Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. FFAI

Wolfpack is short FFAI: Jia Yueting pumped the stock with fake preorders, a rebadged Chinese minivan, and shell-company financing while hiding Lucid shares from bankruptcy — SEC and DOJ are circling.

Clear Secure, Inc. YOU

Spruce Point is short Clear Secure (YOU): TSA Digital ID and weakening airline partnerships are eroding CLEAR's value prop while accounting red flags and a CAO from Ubiquiti suggest 30-50% downside.

Monster Beverage Corp. MNST

Monster's Coke-like 23x EBITDA multiple masks accounting red flags, eroding US share to Celsius/Alani/BUD, and decaying governance — implying 25%-40% downside to $36-$44.

e.l.f. Beauty, Inc. ELF

ELF's imports collapsed while inventory and revenue kept soaring; reconciling the two suggests $138-188mm of overstated sales and a likely fraud.

Floor & Decor Holdings, Inc. FND

Boot Barn's stock is propped up by Taylor Swift/Beyonce hype and a flawed big-box expansion masking executive red flags, bloated capex and stretched valuation; 40-50% downside to $51-$62.

e.l.f. Beauty, Inc. ELF

ELF Beauty's premium valuation relies on viral Gen-Z marketing led by Movers+Shakers, an agency whose founders have NXIVM-cult ties — reputational backlash points to 45%-65% downside.

Saputo Inc. TSX:SAP

Saputo's 25-year dairy roll-up is failing internationally; hidden U.K. pension, Argentina margin outlier, and auditor red flags point to 40%-60% downside to C$13.75-$20.50.

FIGS, Inc. FIGS

FIGS is a fading pandemic winner whose founders exaggerated revenue 82% and TAM 135%; at ~4x sales versus 1.2x DTC peers, Spruce Point sees 45%-60% downside to $4.40-$6.05.

China Harmony New Energy Auto Holding 3836.HK

Prestige Consumer Healthcare Inc. PBH

Spruce Point is short Prestige Brands: a decaying OTC roll-up with no organic growth, CFO déjà-vu from Boulder Brands' collapse, and 40-60% downside to $14.80-$22.50.

GSX Techedu GSX

GSX's rebuttals to our fraud report are evasive techno-drivel; meanwhile GSX openly recruits engineers to run cell-phone bot farms, confirming it is a nearly empty box.

GSX Techedu Inc. GSX

GSX Techedu is a near-total fraud: at least 73% — likely 80%+ — of paid K-12 users are bots, and Chairman Chen's $319M pledged stock heightens crash risk.

Pets at Home Group plc LSE:PETS

GSX Techedu GSX

Citron argues GSX Techedu is a near-total fraud — the vast majority of claimed K-12 students are bots, revenues are fabricated, and the stock is a zero.

WD-40 Company WDFC

WD-40 is a promotional, no-moat lubricant company hiding a balance-sheet hole and bloated inventory behind a 28x EBITDA multiple — Spruce Point sees 55-60% downside to $75-$85.

GSX Techedu Inc. GSX

GSX Techedu's too-good-to-be-true 70%+ margins and triple-digit growth are propped up by inflated profits, brushed student enrollments, alter-ego related parties, and suspected CAPEX fraud — it is a fraud worth zero.

Peloton Interactive PTON

Peloton trades at 2,286% above peers on EV per subscriber; once a cannibalizing app, undifferentiated hardware, and a March lockup wave hit, the stock collapses to $5.

Canadian Tire Corporation CTC.A

Canadian Tire is an over-levered legacy retailer masking decline with aggressive accounting and risky credit card lending; looming downgrade forces asset sales and 35-50% downside to C$77-100.

Church & Dwight Co., Inc. CHD

CHD trades at an all-time-high premium as a trade-war safe haven, but CEO Farrell's financial-engineering roll-up is cracking; 35-50% downside to $40-$52/share.

ANTA Sports Products 2020.HK

ANTA's largest 'third-party' supplier and its 'self-operated' online stores are secretly controlled by an ANTA employee, so reported margins and Fila's numbers cannot be trusted.

Muddy Waters Part 4 rebuts ANTA's responses — management has lied about owning all Fila stores, the Shanghai Fengxian disposal, and distributor independence, confirming the underlying fraud.

ANTA Sports Products 2020.HK

ANTA's 'self-operated' Fila franchise is a fiction: 46 Beijing Fila stores are owned by an insider proxy, exposing fabricated Fila financials and rendering all ANTA numbers unreliable.

ANTA Sports Products Limited 2020.HK

ANTA used IPO proceeds to grow Shanghai Fengxian, then stripped it to insider proxies via a straw buyer in 2008 — proof of fraudulent intent toward minority shareholders.

ANTA Sports Products Ltd. 2020.HK

ANTA secretly controls at least 27 — and likely over 40 — of its 46 Tier 1 distributors via proxy owners, fraudulently inflating the margins behind its peer-leading financials.

PetIQ, Inc. PETQ

PetIQ's grey-market vet-drug margins and rebate-dependent earnings are unsustainable as Merial goes direct-to-retail, while a $200M wellness-center cash burn and the CEO's Petters/Fleming ties imply 75-90% downside.

Best World International CGN

Carvana Co. CVNA

Carvana is a CCC+-rated subprime used-car dealer masquerading as a tech disruptor; Spruce Point sees 56-83% downside to $7.50-$19.60, with a credible path to zero.

TAL Education's core Peiyou business is shrinking, not 'healthy' as CFO Rong Luo claims; under every reasonable model TAL's FY2018 Q3-Q4 disclosures fail to reconcile.

TAL Education Group TAL

TAL's own Peiyou Q3 disclosures, common-sized, mathematically imply offline enrollment declined YoY — contradicting the growth narrative and signaling fabricated results.

TAL Education Group TAL

TAL inflated Firstleap's acquired deferred revenue by 90-175%, pumping $21-29M of fake profit through FY2017 via an above-the-line accounting lever obscured by an overlooked small acquisition.

TAL Education Group TAL

TAL is a real business with fake financials: two asset-parking transactions inflated FY2016-FY2018 pre-tax profits by $153M (28.4%) while Deloitte China was starved of audit hours.

Man Wah Holdings 1999.HK

Man Wah's response fails to address Muddy Waters' core fraud allegations: suspicious Macau profit-shifting, export revenue gaps vs. Panjiva data, tax inconsistencies, and undisclosed debt all remain unexplained.

Herbalife HLF

Post-2012-short results confirm Herbalife's pyramid thesis: individual markets pop-and-drop, Q1'17 China growth is a pull-forward illusion, and questionable EPS add-backs mask structural decline.

MGP Ingredients, Inc. MGPI

MGPI's whiskey-premiumization rerating is an illusion: Diageo is going in-house, inventory is stranded, and insiders are selling — shares should collapse 60-70% to $16-$21.

China Huishan Dairy Holdings 6863.HK

Huishan's revenue is fabricated: tax-bureau data, cow-farm photos, and e-commerce scrapes all show the reported top line is dramatically overstated — the stock is a zero.

China Huishan Dairy Holdings 6863 HK

Huishan is a fraud worth close to zero — fabricated alfalfa self-sufficiency inflates margins, RMB 1.6bn of CapEx is fictitious, and Chairman Yang has siphoned farms to a related party.

The FTC's July 2016 Herbalife complaint and forced restructuring vindicate Pershing's pyramid-scheme short thesis; normalized EPS collapses to $1.42–$2.22, far below the ~$65 share price.

Herbalife Ltd. HLF

FTC findings satisfy the Koscot/Omnitrition/Vemma legal test for a pyramid scheme

Casino is a highly-levered, deteriorating French retailer being hollowed out by controlling shareholder Naouri and using property-sale gains to inflate EBITDA; equity worth ~€7 per share.

Groupe Casino Guichard-Perrachon SA CO FP

Casino's financial statements mask 8.9x leverage and inflated EBITDA via related-party Mercialys real-estate sales; shares are worth €6.91 vs €48.97, an 86% decline.

A leaked 71-minute video shows Herbalife CEO Michael Johnson admitting the business is a 'lottery ticket' with 'pyramiding' — Pershing demands he release the tape and the distributor failure data.

Herbalife HLF

Herbalife is a pyramid scheme built on recruitment, not retail: former distributors describe losing thousands while 88% of participants earn no commission.

Herbalife Ltd. HLF

Pershing urges Herbalife's first-ever Chief Compliance Officer to build a genuinely independent program, because a 4-million-distributor pyramid cannot survive real enforcement of its own rules.
