Investigation Reveals Short Seller Grossly Exaggerated Report

Engagement
In 2019, an NYSE-listed company purchased assets in Argentina and Jamaica for hundreds of millions of dollars. Following the acquisition, a short seller publicly alleged that the assets were grossly overinflated and company insiders were in fact undisclosed beneficiaries of the deals. Gryphon was retained to independently vet the short seller’s report and the condition of the acquired assets.

Investigation
Gryphon’s research, field investigations in Argentina and Jamaica, and interviews with local contacts in multiple jurisdictions directly refuted the short seller’s report. Our work also demonstrated that the short seller had solicited interviews under false pretenses and manipulated information to comport with their thesis.

Result
The valuable intelligence Gryphon investigators obtained enabled our client to make informed decisions about how to best represent shareholders’ interests.

Asset Investigation Yields Information Useful for Litigating Failure to Pay Claim

Engagement
An international law firm engaged Gryphon to determine why a privately held U.S. company had not timely remitted payment to a creditor in China. Gryphon conducted a targeted asset investigation and an assessment of the U.S. company’s financial condition.

Investigation
Our investigation uncovered information projecting the subject company’s income to be $50 million over a five-year period, which signified that the subject company had ample assets to pay its Chinese creditor. The investigation did however uncover issues pertaining to the company’s outlook, as the subject company derived a significant portion of its revenue from a federal program that was being revaluated by Congress.

Result
The results of this investigation informed our client’s decision to initiate litigation immediately, given the uncertainty of the subject company’s financial outlook.
