The Hindenburg Saga- A look at what happened so far

US short-seller Hindenburg Research has levelled new accusations against Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) Chairperson Madhabi Buch and her husband, Dhaval Buch. In a recent blog post, Hindenburg claimed that the Buchs had stakes in obscure offshore funds linked to the Adani money siphoning scandal. It said 18 months since its damning report on Adani, “SEBI has shown a surprising lack of interest in Adani’s alleged undisclosed web of Mauritius and offshore shell entities.”

Why the World Is on the Brink of Great Disorder

I’m a global macro investor who has been betting on what’s going to happen for over 50 years. I’ve been through all sorts of events and cycles in all sorts of places over a long time which led me to study how these events and cycles work.
