Wirecard Shares Plunge 60% As Auditors ‘Unable To Verify’ $2 Billion In Cash On Its Books

As we’ve previously noted, German regulators have bent over backwards to accommodate Wirecard, even going so far as to discourage short sellers from targeting the stock, and launching an investigation into an FT reporter who published the first allegations about fraud within the fast-growing digital payments company.

Comment: Insiders always have deep broad advance knowledge. Wirecard appears to have some combination of internal issues AND be under attack. The plunging prices are covering the shorts.  NSA has all the data but is not doing “trade intelligence” or white collar crime counterintelligence.

Wirecard: what KPMG’s report found

The payments group had predicted vindication from a special audit — it did not arrive

Dan McCrum and Olaf Storbeck

Financial Times, 29 April 2020

For months Wirecard had confidently predicted that KPMG would vindicate its accounting and deliver a final riposte to its sceptics. Instead, the publication on Tuesday of a report from the accounting firm caused shares in the Dax 30 company to crash 26 per cent as investors learnt that KPMG’s investigators had faced obstacles in their attempts to verify that large parts of the business were real, and publication of full-year results would be delayed again. The shares fell another 7 per cent on Wednesday.

Wirecard critics targeted in London spy operation

Miariam Jackson

The Union Journal, 11 December 2019

Two specialist traders, Matt Earl and Fraser Perring, co-authored the Zatarra report and therefore are one of the eight guys surveilled over recent weeks, combined with Mr [Crispin] Odey, Brett Palos, the stepson of merchant Philip Green, along with Nick Gold, a veteran stock exchange speculator.

Wirecard executives seem to have guessed a mole was working at a senior level within the firm after Mr Earl and Mr Perring released their Zatarra Report at 2016, prompting a criminal investigation from Germany into alleged market manipulation.

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.

FT calls in law firm to review reporting on Wirecard

Reuters, 23 July 2019

FRANKFURT (Reuters) – The Financial Times has hired a law firm to review its investigations into German payments company Wirecard (WDIG.DE), which has sued the newspaper over a series of reports alleging accounting irregularities.

The FT’s reporting, citing a whistleblower’s claims of fraud and creative accounting at Wirecard’s Singapore office, wiped up to $10 billion off Wirecard’s market value and triggered a police investigation in the Asian state.

Wirecard denies the allegations and has filed a suit at the Munich regional court against both the FT and its lead reporter on the stories, Dan McCrum, seeking a ruling on the merits of its case. If successful, the company would then press for financial redress.

Fraud allegations put Wirecard’s shy billionaire CEO Markus Braun in the spotlight

Straits Times (Singapore), 7 February 2019

The 49-year-old Austrian computer scientist has spent more than a decade fighting off critics whose whispering campaign burst into the headlines again last week. A Financial Times report of suspect transactions in Asia sent the company’s shares plummeting.

Read full article.

Comment: WireCard appears to be under attack by naked short sellers aided by corrupt journalists who, if properly iinvestigated, would in all likehood be found to have received substantial financial incentives for trashing the company. Dan McCrum at Financial Times is the “journalist” under investigation by German authorities. The bad guys most times have a [hired] whistleblower that alerts police and regulatory authorities. Once they have information sometimes legit, other times not or the naked short sellers then  blow the investigation all out of proportion. They set outto destroy the stock price with their band of criminal syndicates which includes the banks. They are often joined by law firms that maliciously file shareholder class lawsuit announcements to inspire fear in the marketplace — this is outright tortious interference and market manipulation.
