Hindenburg is shorting the U.S. crypto-friendly bank SoFi, accusing it of allegedly inflating profits by $1 billion.

Gate News reports that on March 31, the short-selling firm Muddy Waters released its latest report, announcing that it has established a short position in SoFi Technologies, Inc. (SOFI), the United States’ first nationwide chartered bank supporting Bitcoin and cryptocurrency trading. The report accuses SOFI’s management of allegedly recording $312 million in loans from JPMorgan Chase as “loan sales,” thereby artificially inflating reported profits to secure management bonuses, while shareholders would bear approximately 15% in annual dilution. Muddy Waters points out that UCC filing documents from Utah show that JPMorgan Chase was the “senior lender” in the relevant transactions, not the asset buyer, which contradicts SOFI’s accounting treatment. The report believes that SOFI will ultimately have to restate the $312 million transaction, which could lead to a restatement of about $1 billion in previously reported EBITDA, and its actual capital adequacy ratio will be significantly reduced. Additionally, the report accuses SOFI of using a “secured loan” program to support its unrealistic fair-value markings on personal loans, in order to maintain its financial narrative.
