Invisibilia, an NPR show, ran an episode last week on a case of Wirecard's onslaught of intimidation and pressure on a short seller looking into shady Wirecard dealings: https://www.npr.org/2020/06/02/868001948/trust-fall
Wirecard's tactics included a disinformation campaign smearing the target's reputation with false accusations, following and photographing the target, sending 'bodyguards' to intimidate the target at his home, and a constant flow of sophisticated phishing attempts.
There were so many fishy things going, I am by no means surprised. When a company starts sueing journalists, in Wirecards case the FT, over negtive reporting, it is a alarm bell.
When said comany gets indicted by financial watchdogs and auditors refuse to sign off balance sheets, well, things don't look to good.
