Block shares plunged after noted short-seller Hindenburg Research said the company’s flagship Cash App facilitates crime and lacks strong compliance controls.
Hindenburg has targeted other mega-cap companies before, including Indian conglomerate Adani Group.
當著名空方賣家Hindenburg Research表示該公司旗艦產品Cash App促進犯罪並缺乏強大的合規控制時，Block的股票暴跌。
Hindenburg之前曾瞄準其他大型公司，包括印度企業集團Adani Group。
Shares of Jack Dorsey’s Block plunged over 18% after short-seller Hindenburg Research announced the payment company was its latest short position.
當空方賣家Hindenburg Research宣布這家支付公司是其最新的空方頭寸後，Jack Dorsey的Block股票暴跌了逾18％。
“Our 2-year investigation has concluded that Block has systematically taken advantage of the demographics it claims to be helping,” the short seller said in its report. The research firm said that Block’s Cash App thrived on serving “unbanked” customers.
空方賣家在其報告中說：“我們的兩年調查得出結論，Block系統地利用了其聲稱要幫助的人口。” 研究公司表示，Block的Cash App在為“無銀行帳戶”的客戶提供服務方面表現出色。
The report alleges those unbanked customers were involved in criminal or illicit activity. Hindenburg also alleged that Cash App’s compliance programs were deficient.
該報告聲稱，這些無銀行帳戶的客戶涉及犯罪或非法活動。Hindenburg還聲稱Cash App的合規計劃存在缺陷。
To test the theory, the short seller opened accounts in the name of former President Donald Trump and Tesla CEO Elon Musk, and then opened a Cash App card, called the Cash Card, under the “obviously fake Donald Trump account,” the report said.
為了測試這個理論，空方賣家以前總統唐納德·特朗普和特斯拉CEO埃隆·馬斯克的名義開設了帳戶，然後在“明顯虛假的唐納德·特朗普帳戶”下開設了Cash App卡片，名為Cash Card，該報告稱。
The card bearing Trump’s name arrived “promptly” in the mail.
卡片上印有特朗普的名字，很快就寄到了他的地址。
“Former employees estimated that 40%-75% of accounts they reviewed were fake, involved in fraud, or were additional accounts tied to a single individual,” the report said.
“前員工估計，他們審查的帳戶中有40％-75％是虛假的，涉及欺詐或與單個個人相關的其他帳戶，”報告說。
Representatives for Block did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Block的代表沒有立即回應評論請求。

很敬佩這些放空機構基本面與財報的研究功力，
非常專業，雖然不是每次都正確
應是花了很多時間人力物力調查，
不過這樣在股市賺錢未免太累了
