The Biggest Short of 2020

Matt Earl is Europe’s best short-seller and was intimately involved in bringing down the fraudulent German company, Wirecard. Matt writes a subscription research service but also publishes some of his research publicly if there is a strong public interest in releasing it. In this episode, Carson & Matt cover how pervasively bad the regulations are in Germany and France and how hostile they are towards short-sellers.  They cover the incestuous nature of corporate interest in European countries. Matt also delves deep into the story of revealing Wirecard as a fraud. In the process, reveals horrid details of mysterious people following him, threats, and the fear of running home to protect his children at home.
