Hindenburg faces Sebi scrutiny, Kotak Bank dragged in Adani saga

Adani-Hindenburg Case: Hindenburg Research disclosed that Sebi had sent them a letter outlining suspected violations related to their short position against Adani Group last year. Hindenburg also alleged that Kotak Bank, established and supervised an offshore fund structure utilized by its "investor partner" to take positions against the conglomerate.

U.S-based short-seller said on Monday that India's securities regulator had sent it a letter outlining suspected violations over its short bet against last year and revealed it may "barely come out above breakeven" on its trade.

Hindenburg also said , an Indian firm, created and oversaw an offshore fund structure that was used by its "" to bet against the conglomerate, providing new details of trades that have puzzled investors.

The said it made $4.1 million in gross revenue through "gains related to Adani shorts from that investor relationship" and just $31,000 through its short position of Adani's U.S. bonds. It did not name the investor.

Characterizing the Securities and Exchange Board of India's (SEBI) "show cause" notice as attempted intimidation, Hindenburg wrote that the regulator had made the "nebulous allegation" that Hindenburg's report contained misrepresentations and inaccurate statements meant to mislead readers.

SEBI, and Kotak did not immediately respond to a request for comment outside working hours.

SEBI has also been probing Adani, but India's top court has given it till August 14 to complete its investigation.

Hindenburg's response also sheds some new light on the mechanics of its trade, the details of which had intrigued other investors because Indian securities rules make it hard for foreigners bet against companies there.
