Twist Bioscience Corp (NASDAQ: TWST)

Before the market opened on November 15, 2022, Scorpion Capital published a negative report on Twist entitled “A Cash-Burning Inferno That Is Not a Going Concern, Operating a Ponzi-Like Scheme That Will End In Bankruptcy. Just Another ‘Synthetic Biology’ Swindle, This Time With An Absurd ‘Silicon DNA Chip’ And Financials So Phony It May Be Criminal. Target Price: $0.” The report alleges Twist is “A ticking time bomb that we believe is resorting to a Worldcom-esque accounting fraud” and “Multiple competitors internally refer to Twist’s price dumping and customer subsidy scheme as a “Ponzi”.

In early morning trading on November 15, 2022, Twist’s stock price is down $11.42 per share to $26.59, or a drop of 30.0%.

DLocal Ltd (NASDAQ: DLO)

On November 16, 2022, Muddy Waters Capital LLC (“Muddy Waters”) published a research report concluding that DLocal “is likely a fraud.” Muddy Waters alleges that DLocal has repeated disclosures about its Total Processing Volume and accounts receivable “that flatly contradict one another” and that there is “a contradictory discrepancy between two key subsidiaries’ accounts payable and accounts receivable.” Muddy Waters also alleges that DLocal engaged in multiple misrepresentations to disguise the timing and the source of funding for an insider option exercise.

On this news, DLocal’s share price fell $10.76, or more than 50%, to close at $10.46 per share on November 16, 2022, thereby injuring investors.
