FT Investigation: internal documents from the payments company point to a concerted effort to fraudulently inflate sales and profits

Comment: Dan McCrum is strongly suspected of being a shill for naked short sellers, and appears to be one of several journalists — others work for the Wall Street Journal — who routinely bash companies to further illegal naked short selling campaign.  He should be deeply investigated.

Bausch Health jumps after short seller says stock could double

Cristin Flanagan, 15 October 2019

Shares of Bausch Health Cos. jumped as much as 5.5 per cent intraday after a short-seller changed his tune and said the stock could nearly double. Also, Bausch shed another bear as Wells Fargo realigned its coverage. Andrew Left’s Citron Research set a price target of US$40, more than 80 per cent above current trading. The report comes more than four years after the short-seller’s 2015 call, when Left accused Bausch, then known as Valeant Pharmaceuticals, of being “Enron part deux.”

Bausch shares have come down more than 90 per cent from 2015. The stock “still trades with a ‘Valeant discount’ despite new management’s 180-degree turn,” the Citron report said. Bausch’s Nov. 4 earnings may be when Wall Street finally takes notice, it added.

Citron Calls Bausch Health — Formerly Valeant — The ‘Textbook Turnaround’

Wayne Duggan, 15 October 2019

Three years after Citron Research called Valeant the “pharmaceutical Enron,” the firm said Tuesday that it’s time to give Valeant successor Bausch Health Companies Inc BHC 0.06% the credit it is due for its rebranding and turnaround efforts.

On Tuesday, Citron Research’s Andrew Left said CEO Joe Papa has done a spectacular job since taking over less than four years ago. In the past three years alone, management has paid down about $8 billion in debt, vastly improving the company’s balance sheet and putting them in a position of financial flexibility.

“In 2019, the debt has become manageable and the company is gaining momentum with recent, successful launches of new drugs, consistent with its ‘pivot to offense,’” Left said.

BAUSCH HEALTH – THE TEXTBOOK TURNAROUND Giving Credit Where Credit is Due – Target Price $40

Citron Research, 15 October 2019

It was four years ago this month that Citron wrote a series of articles that were instrumental in the unraveling of the Pearson-era Valeant business model. In quick manner the stock has declined by 90% from its highs as the scandals unraveled and many questioned the sustainability of the equity.

Four years later BHC still trades with a “Valeant discount” despite new management’s 180-degree turn of corporate culture. To add to the artificially depressed share price, Bausch has been unjustly grouped with Specialty Pharma despite having ZERO opioid exposure and minimal exposure to the generics market.

Citron believes this quarter (reporting on Nov 4) will force Wall St. to finally take notice of BHC’s “pivot to offense”. Once this is considered along with the acknowledgment of the recent M&A spree in pharma, even David Maris will have to admit that BHC is on its way to $40.

Fmr. Overstock CEO Patrick Byrne wants to explain controversial exit, stock sale and predicts more deep state revelations

According to Byrne, his departure and stock sale are unrelated to his FBI activities or what he has described as a romantic tryst with an alleged Russian spy, Maria Butina, though he says those matters will become a huge story sometime soon. Byrne in his interview with FOX Business said he didn’t want to dwell on spycraft (“I’m supposed to be keeping quiet [on] all that political stuff,” he said), adding cryptically that the full story “will break this year and it will be 100 times bigger than Watergate … it’s political fraud conducted by the deep state against the republic, against Democrats and Republicans … I was asked to set up Hillary Clinton,” all of which he declined to elaborate on.

Collusion with Trump over Russia inquiry ‘did not happen’, says Raab

Patrick Wintour, 02 October 2019

No member of the British government, including the prime minister, would ever collude with Donald Trump to try to discredit the work of intelligence agencies uncovering Russian interference in the 2016 US election, the UK foreign secretary said.

Dominic Raab told the Commons that “any such collusion is entirely unacceptable, would never happen, and did not happen”.

The foreign secretary refused to say at prime minister’s questions whether Boris Johnson, or his predecessor, Theresa May, had spoken to the US president about any request to cooperate with the inquiry he had ordered into how the US intelligence agencies handled claims that Russia colluded with the Trump presidential campaign in 2016.

The collusion claim led to the lengthy report by Robert Mueller, which showed that Russia was attempting to swing the presidential election in favour of Trump but did not say whether there had been collusion between Russia and Trump.

Raab was asked whether, as reported in the Times, Trump had personally contacted Johnson to ask him to cooperate with the US inquiry.

The Labour MP Ben Bradshaw implied that the purpose of any Trump request might be “to undermine or smear British intelligence services, as well as damage cooperation with their US colleagues”.

Raab, deputising for Johnson at prime minister’s questions, said: “Neither the prime minister or, as then, the foreign secretary, would collude in the way that he described. That is entirely unacceptable and would never happen and did not happen.”

It is noticeable that the British government has been less willing than either the Australian or Italian governments to give details of help given to Trump’s inquiry into the role of the US intelligence services.
