Hindenburg Research, a company that looked into business wrongdoings, has announced that it is shutting down. Nate Anderson, the founder, shared the news on Wednesday. He mentioned that they had decided to close the company after wrapping up their latest projects, which included some investigations into financial fraud.
Hindenburg Research was started by Nate Anderson in 2017. It focused on finding problems in companies, like mistakes in their money records or bad management. They often made money by betting against companies that they thought were doing something wrong. The company was named after the Hindenburg airship, which had a famous crash in 1937.
Nate Anderson studied international business at the University of Connecticut and began his career at FactSet Research Systems. He worked with companies that managed investments. He wanted to do more than just regular analysis, which he found boring. He even drove an ambulance in Israel for a short time, saying it taught him how to act quickly under pressure. Anderson looked up to Harry Markopolos, the person who first uncovered Bernie Madoff’s fraud.
Since its start, Hindenburg Research has pointed out possible issues in over 16 companies.
