The Adani Group's stock value fell by around $150 billion in 2023 after Hindenburg Research first leveled accusations at it in January.In a report titled "How The World's 3rd Richest Man Is Pulling The Largest Con In Corporate History," Hindenburg alleged that the company used tax havens improperly and was involved in stock manipulation and fraud "over decades."This led to an investigation into the sprawling multibillion-dollar empire headed by the Supreme Court of India in collaboration with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI).Citing whistleblower documents, Hindenburg's latest report claims that the head of the SEBI, Madhabi Puri Buch, has a conflict of interest in the Adani investigation due to stakes she and her husband held in offshore entities that Hindenburg said were used to artificially inflate shares of companies owned by the Adani Group.The couple released a statement saying that they "strongly deny the baseless allegations and insinuations made in the report."In a separate statement, the regulator said allegations made by Hindenburg Research against the Adani Group had been investigated, according to <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.reuters.com/markets/asia/indias-adani-shares-drop-after-hindenburg-allegations-sebi-chairs-past-2024-08-12/#:~:text=%242.43%20billion%2C%20or%201%25%2C,of%20more%20than%20%2413%20billion.">Reuters</a>.The Adani Group categorically denied all accusations, with a <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.adani.com/en/Newsroom/Media-Release/Hindenburg-Report-Red-Herring">statement on its website</a> calling the report "malicious, mischievous and manipulative selections of publicly available information."The statement also accused Hindenburg of arriving at "pre-determined conclusions for personal profiteering with wanton disregard for facts and the law."Adani's <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="c-link" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/who-is-gautam-adani-indian-industrialist-billionaire-wealth-elon-musk-2022-12">wealth</a> surged in 2022, making him the third richest person in the world at the start of 2023. However, following the allegations from Hindenburg Research, he fell to 22nd place on the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.The Index estimates his net worth to be $104 billion, which currently places him as the 12th richest person in the world, behind Mukesh Ambani, the richest man in Asia.The latest accusations come at a difficult time for Adani. His company is trying to expand internationally. Last week, <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/india-billionaire-karan-adani-plans-challenge-china-dominance-seaports-2024-8">Business Insider</a> reported that Karan Adani, Gautam Adani's son, wants to loosen China's grip on seaports and transform India into a major trading hub.Hindenburg Research, Adani Group, SEBI, and Madhabi Puri Buch did not immediately respond to BI's request for comment.

Top 10 richest women in the world in 2024

<ul><li>Mukesh Ambani regained his No. 1 position even as his wealth grew only 2% in the year.</li><li>Nearly 65% of people in the list amassed a combined wealth of close to $1 trillion.</li><li>As many as 55 people dropped out of the rich list, the most notable being Byju Raveendran.</li><li>Startup founders’ wealth saw a collective dip of ₹85,000 crore. </li></ul>A lot has changed in the last one year, but there are few surprises in the 360 ONE Wealth Hurun India Rich List 2023 released on Tuesday. The chairman of Reliance Industries Mukesh Ambani surged to the top spot as India’s richest man. India has added 38 <keyword id="6393637" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="billionaires" source="Orion">billionaires</keyword> to its rich list, taking the total tally to 259. Even as the developed world is staring at a recession, India is cementing its position as an economic powerhouse. Nearly 65% of people in the rich list amassed a combined wealth of close to $1 trillion. This is akin to the combined GDP of Singapore and the UAE, Hurun said. Mukesh Ambani surpassed Gautam Adani, who dropped to the second spot, in spite of only a 2% growth in his wealth in the last one year. After Adani’s wealth more than halved in the last year, the gap between Ambani and Adani wealth widened by ₹3,30,000 crore. The top 10 has seen a lot of upheaval in the last one year – as only Shiv Nadar and Cyrus Poonawala were able to hold on to the positions they held last year. Gautam Adani’s brother Vinod Shantilal Adani who was the sixth richest Indian last year, exited the top 10 list this year. He is now the twelfth richest Indian after his wealth dropped by 37%. The other notable exit is Uday Kotak, the chairman of Kotak Mahindra Bank who is now the 11th richest man in the county after his wealth dropped 6% last year. Kumar Mangalam Birla &amp; family and Niraj Bajaj &amp; family made a remarkable return to the top 10 this year as wealth went up by 5% and 7% respectively.

However, their average wealth has decreased by 9.3%. The India Rich List added 273 new entrants and 38 new billionaires over the last year. The number of dollar billionaires also went up to 259, up 38 as compared to last year. “The trends prove that India is a shining moon in a world that is staring at recession. While the China Rich List has dropped 10% for each of this year and last year, both in terms of average wealth and in terms of the number of people that make the list. India is closing the gap,” said Anas Rahman Junaid, MD and Chief Researcher, Hurun India. India has 259 billionaires, up 38 compared to last year. While industrial products, metals &amp; mining added the greatest number of new entrants to the list. Pharma still holds the numero uno position and contributed 133 entrants to the list. “Over the past five years, many entrepreneurs have witnessed extraordinary wealth growth, some experiencing an astonishing 1,000% surge. Construction and engineering emerge as the top gainers in the top 100 list, followed closely by pharmaceuticals which has a cut-off of ₹20,000 crore,” said Anirudha Taparia, co-founder and joint CEO, 360 ONE Wealth. Funding winter &amp; founders’ wealth While 264 in the Indian rich list saw their wealth drop in the last one year, there were as many as 55 dropouts. The most notable of the dropouts is Byju Raveendran. The founder of edtech Byju’s exited the list on the back of investor markdowns. The funding winter and its ripple effects led to startup founders on the list experiencing a collective wealth dip of ₹85,000 crore. Recent policies, like the retrospective GST imposition on gaming companies and the angel tax and so on, could potentially hinder long-term wealth generation by startups, Hurun said. However, a few IPOs that stumbled last year did make a comeback. As new-age internet companies gain in value, entrepreneurs like Deepinder Goyal of Zomato and Yashish Dahiya of PB Fintech have seen their wealth increase by over 70%. Startup wealth creation will persist, albeit within a changing landscape, Junaid said. The IPO stars: Public issues and rich list debuts The stock markets also rewarded many public debuts and made their founders into billionaires. Ramesh Kunhikannan’s Kaynes Technology made a strong stock market debut. And he entered the list with a wealth of ₹8,200 crore. The spectacular listing gains provided by stock market debuts of many companies have pulled their owners into the rich list. Some of them include Jagdish Prasad Chowdhary of Titagarh Wagons, Ranjit Pendurthi of Archean Chemical Industries and Ajay P Thakker &amp; family of Jupiter Life Line Hospitals. Pavan Kumar Bajaj and Karan Bajaj of Electronics Mart India and Harsha Engineers’ Harish Rangwala and Rajendra Shantilal Shah too entered the coveted list of richest Indians after their stocks skyrocketed on debut. But there is money to be made in private markets too. Manish Kejriwal of Kedaara Capital became the first Indian Private Equity fund manager to enter the list.

Top 10 richest cricketers in the world in 2024

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Activist short-seller Hindenburg Research wiped out $153 billion in market value from Adani Group.</li><li>It recently disclosed that it made just $4 million for its efforts.</li></ul>Nate Anderson, the chief mind behind activist short-seller Hindenburg Research, has had an eventful past 18 months.In January 2023, he accused the Indian conglomerate owned by Gautam Adani — one of the world's richest people — of fraud, subsequently wiping out $153 billion in market value from its associated companies. This led Indian regulators to his doorstep and forced him into defensive mode. A war of words has persisted ever since.A year and a half later, the battle continues. And based on new information released by Hindenburg, one might wonder whether it was all worth it.The firm — which describes itself as specializing in "<a target="_blank" href="https://hindenburgresearch.com/about-us/">forensic financial research</a>" — recently disclosed that it's <a target="_blank" href="https://hindenburgresearch.com/adani-update-sebi/">made just $4 million</a> from its considerable efforts. Compared to the nine figures of market value it helped erase, and the $80 billion wiped from Adani's personal fortune, that's a drop in the bucket.Detailed below is the considerable back-and-forth that's taken place since Hindenburg's initial shot across the bow of Adani Group. The tale that follows highlights the lengths a global conglomerate — and the regulatory body with a vested interest in keeping it afloat — will go to defend itself. It also shows the resolute nature of Anderson as he continues fighting back.<h2 id="7df22065-9960-4dfb-a5ba-2a5dced6dda0">The initial report</h2>Hindenburg accused Indian business magnate Gautam Adani in 2023 of pulling off the "largest con in corporate history." It was the result of a two-year-long investigation, which found a number of financial and accounting irregularities in Adani's empire, the firm said in its <a target="_blank" href="https://hindenburgresearch.com/adani/">106-page report.</a>"Indian conglomerate Adani Group has engaged in a brazen stock manipulation and accounting fraud scheme over the course of decades," the report said. "We believe the Adani Group has been able to operate a large, flagrant fraud in broad daylight in large part because investors, journalists, citizens and even politicians have been afraid to speak out for fear of reprisal," it later added.Hindenburg identified at least 38 shell companies closely related to Adani Group, which it said appeared to engage in stock manipulation and money laundering. It cited "numerous examples"of those companies funneling money through private companies owned by Adani, before cash was set to Adani's listed public companies.The short-seller's investigation also found Adani's private and public companies to have "numerous" undisclosed transactions with other parties, the researchers found, which violates regulatory laws in India.The "labyrinthian network of shells appears to serve several functions, including shuffling losses into private entities to boost reported earnings, and surreptitiously moving money to prop up entities in the group," Hindenburg said.Adani Group was also affiliated with a number of funds that displayed "flagrant irregularities," the research firm said, such as being offshore entities, having concealed ownership information, and having portfolios being "almost exclusively" invested in Adani's firms.One such fund, Elara, controlled another fund that was around 99% concentrated in Adani shares. That suggested to the researchers it was "obvious Adani controls the shares," the report said.Hindenburg attached a list of 88 questions for Adani to answer, which included inquiries into the billionaire's close contacts, Adani Group executives, and investigations into the company by regulators."If Gautam Adani embraces transparency, as he claims, they should be easy questions to answer," the report said.<h2 id="87ef9631-a695-4bbc-86a3-c6c5152527e7">The response</h2>Nursing deep stock losses, Adani Group hit back with its own <a target="_blank" href="https://www.adani.com/-/media/Project/Adani/Invetsors/Adani-Response-to-Hindenburg-January-29-2023.pdf">413-page response</a>, calling Hindenburg's original report "nothing but a lie.""We are shocked and deeply disturbed to read the report published by the 'Madoffs of Manhattan,'" the reply said, referring to Hindenburg. "The document is a malicious combination of selective misinformation and concealed facts relating to baseless and discredited allegations to drive an ulterior motive," it added.The firm disclosed information on its accounting practices and professional relationships, while disputing many of the claims in the Hindenburg report.Transactions that were identified as suspicious by Hindenburg's team were in compliance with local laws and accounting standards, it said. Offshore companies and funds mentioned in Hindenburg's report were merely public shareholders in Adani-listed companies, the retort added."A listed entity does not have control over who buys/sells/owns the publicly traded shares or how much volume is traded, or the source of funds for such public shareholders nor it is required to have such information for its public shareholders under the laws of India. Hence we cannot comment on trading pattern or behavior of public shareholders," Adani's report said.The firm also criticized Hindenburg for its financial stake in releasing the report, calling the firm an "unethical short seller" and guilty of a "flagrant breach of applicable securities and foreign exchange laws.""This is rife with conflict of interest and intended only to create a false market in securities to enable Hindenburg, an admitted short seller, to book massive financial gain through wrongful means at the cost of countless investors," it said.Hindenburg issued a reply to Adani on the same day, denying any wrongdoing from its original report. They argued that Adani Group's reply failed to answer most of their questions. The conglomerate also didn't dispute the existence of certain "suspect" transactions, nor did it explain "their obvious irregularities," researchers added."We also believe that fraud is fraud, even when it's perpetrated by one of the wealthiest individuals in the world," Hindenburg Research said in its reply.Adani Group eventually <a target="_blank" href="https://www.ft.com/content/d0d318ce-b223-4026-8e7a-69bbd55d36f7">lawyered up</a> and readied for a fight, though the damage had already been done. In less than a week, Adani, known as the world's third richest man, saw his personal wealth plummet by $52 billion.<h2 id="5d579a08-65ec-42f4-bed2-9a0ffa2f2dd5">Conflict over Hindenburg's short-selling arrangement</h2>Indian regulators have raised specific questions about the structure of Hindenburg's short bet on Adani Group. The Securities and Exchange Board of India — the country's version of the SEC — sent a notice to Hindenberg in June 2024, raising questions about the nature of the report and the firm's relationship with Kingdon Capital Management, a New York hedge-fund involved in building a short position against Adani Group.Hindenburg's initial report was described to be "misleading" and have contained "inaccurate statements.""These misrepresentations built a convenient narrative through selective disclosures, reckless statements, and catchy headlines, in order to mislead readers of the report and cause panic in Adani Group stocks, thereby deflating prices to the maximum extent possible and profit from the same," the notice read.Regulators also revealed that Hindenburg had shared its research with Kingdon prior to publication. The two companies had a profit-sharing agreement, the notice says, with Hindenburg set to get 25% of Kingdon's profits for the short bet.Kingdon ended up making $22.3 million on the bet, $5.5 million of which is owed Hindenburg. $4.1 million of that had been paid as of the start of June, the document shows.Hindenburg shrugged off the letter as "nonsense," and an attempt to ward off whistleblowers who expose corruption among the country's most powerful people and companies."One might think that a securities regulator would be interested in meaningfully pursuing the parties that ran a secret offshore shell empire engaging in billions of dollars of undisclosed related party transactions through public companies while propping up its stocks through undisclosed share ownership via a network of sham investment entities," Hindenburg said in its reply.It added: "Instead, SEBI seems more interested in pursuing those who expose such practices."<h2 id="9e74ab2d-614e-4861-acce-77b6ae2aed56">A passion for 'finding scams'</h2>Backlash is nothing new to Anderson, who's <a target="_blank" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/carl-icahn-hindenburg-research-short-seller-adani-group-nikola-block-2023-5">targeted other high-profile financiers</a> and began sniffing out wrongdoers on Wall Street long before he launched Hindenburg Research in 2017.This decade alone he's been instrumental in weeding out companies in the electric-vehicle industry. His work on Nikola led to fraud charges against its founder, and he also called out now-defunct Lordstown Motors for hyping up commercial interest in its product.More recently he <a target="_blank" href="https://hindenburgresearch.com/icahn/">took aim at activist investor Carl Icahn</a> and his famed operation, Icahn Enterprises."Find[ing] scams" has been a life-long passion, he <a target="_blank" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2021/08/16/business/short-seller-wall-street-scams-hindenburg.html">told the New York Times in a 2021 interview</a>, adding that he had spent hours off-the-clock looking into potential schemes, to the chagrin of some of his former bosses."I didn't plan it this way," he told the Times. "It was a side hobby that my employers were sometimes annoyed by."Fraud-finding is one of his top goals of 2024, he wrote in a <a target="_blank" href="https://x.com/NateHindenburg/status/1609949199730348033">post</a> on X in January."My 2023 New Years professional resolution is to work with our @HindenburgRes team to expose some of the biggest frauds and financial charlatans in the world," Anderson wrote. "I am very confident we will achieve this goal."

The towering memorial to politician <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/tallest-statue-in-world-sardar-vallabhbhai-patel-in-india-unity-2018-10">Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel</a> — who helped reunite India post-British colonial rule — is nearly 600 feet tall and was commissioned by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2013.While Gates appears to be participating in regular old tourist activities, the former Microsoft CEO was personally invited by Modi himself to view the statue."Thank you @narendramodi for the invitation to visit the impressive Statue of Unity. It is an engineering marvel and a great tribute to Sardar Patel," Gates <a target="_blank" href="https://www.instagram.com/p/C3_BYsjyIqx/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&amp;igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==">wrote on Instagram</a> under a photo of him grinning in front of the steel and bronze colossus. "Also great to see it is creating economic opportunity for local tribal communities, especially women."Gates was so inspired by the visit that he posted a follow-up video of his experience at the Statue of Unity set to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/C4Cm6EHOtFr/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&amp;igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==">"Don't Stop Me Now" by Queen</a>.Before Gates also sat down with Modi to discuss "using AI for public good," he wrote in the caption an Instagram post that featured him posing with the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.instagram.com/p/C38GgfsR_F4/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&amp;igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==">Prime Minister</a>. Gates also later met with multiple local leaders, per <a target="_blank" href="https://x.com/BillGates/status/1763254121975701635?s=20">posts</a> on his social media.What Gates has been making headlines for, however, is his attendance at one of the biggest parties of the year so far — the Ambani family pre-wedding bash hosted by Asia's richest man, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/how-rich-mukesh-ambanis-india-2020-1">Mukesh Ambani</a>.
