We highlight
the wrongdoings of companies. And there is, obviously, a profit element
to it because if we're right, then we make a return

We highlight
the wrongdoings of companies.
00:00:04.012 --> 00:00:07.044
And there is, obviously, a profit element
to it because if we're right,
00:00:07.052 --> 00:00:10.076
then we make a return
on the capital that we've risked.
00:00:12.002 --> 00:00:15.056
When the Zatarra report came out,
I sort of dashed back to the office.
00:00:15.064 --> 00:00:18.006
I was like, "I've got to tell everyone,
and I want the scoop."
00:00:19.012 --> 00:00:21.048
And so I wrote this quick piece.
00:00:21.056 --> 00:00:23.036
I was in too much of a hurry,
00:00:23.088 --> 00:00:27.028
and I didn't really stop to think
how the whole thing would look.
00:00:27.092 --> 00:00:32.052
The Zatarra report had an immediate impact
on Wirecard's share price,
00:00:32.006 --> 00:00:39.000
{\an8}which fell, but it fell a lot further
after Dan published his post,
00:00:39.998 --> 00:00:41.044
{\an8}drawing attention to the Zatarra report.
00:00:42.096 --> 00:00:47.096
From that one post,
a billion euros or more just vanish,
00:00:48.056 --> 00:00:52.002
and that put us immediately in hot water.
