from the failure of Wirecard in 2020.<\/p>\n<p> Dan Yu, founder of Gotham City Research, and chief investment officer of London-based Portsea Asset Management Cyrus De Weck are planning to join forces to set up <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">General<\/a> Industrial Partners, the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/38bf866b-380b-4917-98f4-ce32a1b8c4fb\" class=\"icon none\">Financial Times<\/a>, citing sources, reported on Friday. <\/p>\n<div class=\"paywall\">\n       Yu and De Weck both notably bet against German fintech group Wirecard, whose spectacular fall from grace in 2020 yielded short sellers over \u20ac1 billion ($999 million) of profit in just a week.<\/p>\n<p>They also placed bets banking on the stock collapse of South African retail holding firm Steinhoff International, which came to fruition in 2017 after irregular accounting transactions were revealed.<\/p>\n<p>Gotham City is well known for its 2014 report on Quindell, a country club turned insurance claims tech firm, saying it was built on \u201cquicksand\u201d and questioned its profits. Quindell won a libel claim against Gotham City after it failed to put up a defense.<\/p>\n<p>The FT reported that General Industrial Partners will hold between 15 to 20 short positions and may take a concentrated bet on a stock in a separate vehicle if Yu and De Weck see a firm with significant enough issues that they could short against.<\/p>\n<p>The fund will reportedly only charge investors with expenses and performance fees when it makes a profit. It will also seemingly keep most of its bets private.<\/p>\n<p>Many short sellers have struggled recently to reap profits during a bull run market and last year, some \u2013 like Citron Research and Melvin Capital \u2013 got burnt during the meme stock <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Game<\/a>stop<br \/>\n        GME,<br \/>\n        <bg-quote field=\"percentchange\" format=\"0,000.00%\" channel=\"\/zigman2\/quotes\/203755179\/composite\" class=\"negative\">-1.52%<\/bg-quote><br \/>\n       short squeeze.
