They appear to be a research firm specializing in reporting on companies to which they own short positions.

If you go to read their articles at http://www.aureliusvalue.com/ you are immediately presented with a TOS that basically says as much. The TOS also makes some disclaimers that looks to be aimed at reducing the risk of them being held liable for spreading false/harmful information.

So given all this, It is only prudent to be skeptical.

“Appear”? The posted article outright identifies them as a short seller. I’m not disputing that someone may profit from the consequences of this allegation. I’m asking if we have reason to believe that the allegation itself is questionable, just because it may harm a company’s stock performance. Did the short seller fabricate it or conspire with the plaintiff?
