Adani-Hindenburg row: PIL in Supreme Court seeks action against US short-seller for defrauding investors
A Public Interest Litigation (PIL) was filed, Friday, in the Supreme Court seeking probe against US-based short seller Hindenburg Research whose scathing report led to rout in Adani Group shares since last week.

A Public Interest Litigation (PIL) was filed, Friday, in the Supreme Court seeking probe against US-based short seller Hindenburg Research whose scathing report led to rout in Adani Group shares since last week.
The PIL, filed by Advocate Manohar Lal Sharma seeks action against Hindenburg Research and its founder Nathan Anderson for “defrauding innocent investors” of the Adani Group and sought compensation for the said investors.
In the petition, Advocate Sharma has asked the top court to issue directions to the Central government for launching an investigation against the short-seller and its founder in India and outside, and prosecute them for forgery under section 420 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) read with section 15HA of the SEBI Act.
A penalty of up to Rs 25 crores or thrice the amounts of profits made by indulging in fraudulent and unfair trade practices relating to securities, is provided under the aforementioned act.
The PIL has alleged that Hindenburg Research exploited “innocent investors via short selling under the garb of artificial crashing”. The petition has asked the Supreme Court to declare short selling an offence of fraud and urged the court to issue directions to recover their turnover of short selling with a penalty to “compensate investors in the interest of justice”.
Meanwhile, Adani Group’s woes continue to mount as the National Stock Exchange (NSE), Thursday, put Adani Ports, Adani Enterprises, and Ambuja Cements under additional surveillance measure (ASM) framework from February 3 (Friday). This will require 100 precent margin to trade in their shares and will likely curb short selling.
Adani Group has endured over $100 billion in market losses till Thursday, creating panic about the potential systemic impact this would have over the market in general. On Wednesday, the group called off its Follow-On Public Offering (FPO) returned money to its investors.
Hindenburg Research published a report last week, accusing the Adani Group of indulging in improper use of offshore tax havens and stock manipulation while also raising concerns about high debt and the valuations of seven listed Adani companies.

The group has denied the allegations, saying the short-seller’s narrative of stock manipulation has “no basis” and stems from an ignorance of Indian law, adding that it has always made the necessary regulatory disclosures.
Hindenburg Research on Monday hit back at the Adani Group, day after the business house dubbed the New York-based firm’s report as “calculated attack on India.”
In a response titled “Fraud cannot be obfuscated by nationalism or a bloated response that ignores every key allegation we raised,” Hindenburg Research accused the Adani Group of holding back India’s progress by draping itself in the Indian flag while systematically looting the nation.
Hindenburg said it believes that India is a vibrant democracy and an emerging superpower with an exciting future. However, the research group alleged that the country’s future was being held back by the Adani Group, “which has draped itself in the Indian flag while systematically looting the nation.”
Hindenburg stressed that it’s a firm believer in the fact that fraud is fraud even when perpetuated by one of the wealthiest individuals globally.

Adani-Hindenburg row: Supreme Court orders SEBI to finish probe within two months, sets up independent expert panel
Released on January 24, the Hindenburg Research report claimed “brazen accounting fraud” and “stock manipulation” by the Gautam Adani-led group.

The Supreme Court on Thursday ordered SEBI to complete the probe into the Adani-Hindenburg row within two months. The Top Court also set up an independent experts committee which will be headed by its retired judge Abhay Manohar Sapre.
The other members of the panel include Nandan Nilekani, KV Kamath, OP Bhat, JP Devdhar, and advocate Somasekhar Sundaresan who have been appointed by a bench comprising CJI DY Chandrachud, Justice PS Narasimha, and Justice JB Pardiwala.
The Apex Court observed that the cases concern the loss of investor wealth over the past few weeks due to a massive decline of Adani group companies following the Hindenburg Research report asked SEBI to examine if there was a violation of market regulations, short-selling norms or stock price manipulation.

On February 17, the Supreme Court decided to constitute an expert committee to inspect if the regulatory mechanism needed to be strengthened to protect Indian investors from market volatility showed in the Hindenburg Research report on Adani Group.
Earlier, the bench had refused to accept the names put forth by the Central Government in a sealed cover for inclusion in the proposed committee. The Top Court had said it will select the experts and maintain full transparency as it would amount to a government-constituted committee if they take names given by the government.
Released on January 24, the Hindenburg Research report claimed “brazen accounting fraud” and “stock manipulation” by the Gautam Adani-led group.
Although the report was rejected by the conglomerate as unresearched and maliciously mischievous, it sparked a massive roar and political debates on social media which led to the firm losing over $120 billion in days and forcing the cancellation of a Rs 20,000 crore secondary share sale.

Will the gaming token rebound?

Since its all-time high in May, the smooth love potion token’s (SLP) price has dropped by over 80%. Is there hope that the SLP coin price will recover or will it keep losing value? This article looks at the current status of the project, the most recent information regarding SLP coin, and some forecasts regarding the coin’s future value of one of the most famous collectibles card game.
SLP creates an in-game economy on Axie Infinity
Gamers in the Axie Infinity world can win the smooth love potion token (also dubbed a “small love potion”) as a reward for their efforts. SLP is indeed an ERC-20 coin, and the blockchain on which Pokémon-inspired Axie Infinity operates is Ethereum’s. To create the non-fungible tokens (NFTs) known as Axies, which can be traded with other participants in the Axie Infinity Marketplace, players must spend SLP. Those who wish to participate in the game must first acquire some Axies. The number of SLP tokens that can ever exist is unrestricted.
The game’s meteoric rise in popularity has spawned a “scholarship” model, wherein “managers” lease the Axies to “scholars,” who play the game professionally and use them to make money.
As the source code for Axie Infinity is freely available, third parties can use the game’s art and genetic data to create their own games and experiences.
According to DappRadar, Axie Infinity, an NFT collection released in 2018 by gaming company Sky Mavis, has eclipsed CryptoPunks, among the first big NFT collections released in 2017, in terms of total traded volume, with over $2.84 billion compared to $1.56 billion for CryptoKitties.
Between July 2020 and April 2021, the value of one SLP token was worth between $0.0095 and $0.01. In a short amount of time, it climbed to a peak of $0.4191 as of May 1 before rapidly falling to its previous low of $0.1477 on May 12.
The price jumped and fell back two times more in May, increasing volatility. In June, SLP traded at $0.011, but by July, it had recovered to $0.4088. As of September 21st, the price had fallen to $0.0553, and throughout the month of October it fluctuated between $0.05 and $0.10. The price of one coin was $0.0696 as of November 1st, when this article was written.
On September 23rd, developers reduced the AXS cost from 2 to 1 and increased the SLP cost from 600 for breeding a single Axie to 6,300 for breeding six Axies. The Axie Infinity website states that the fee was changed in comment to a growth slowdown due to worries over a disparity in the rate at which SLP tokens were being minted and burned everyday, large volatility in the breeding fee because of fluctuation in the value of AXS and smooth love potion, and the increase in AXS to 80% of such breeding fee.
Prolonged success of the SLP, the Axie economy will thrive if more people start playing Axie Infinity, if there is increased demand for Axies, and if the play-to-earn concept receives outside support.
Sky Mavis is working on a DEX for Axie Infinity’s Ronin, a sidechain connected to the Ethereum network, so that users may conduct transactions without incurring gas costs. The new fighting system they are creating will debut an Axie Infinity game demo before any financial choices are made.
The designers are considering options for handing over control of the Axie Infinity economy to “intelligent devices or informed users of the Axie network.”
So, what would some experts anticipate the price of an SLP token will be in the future?
Do you anticipate a rebound of price for SLP tokens in the near future?
Somewhere at time of writing, the technical analysis of SLP’s price on CoinCodex was pessimistic, with the token trading at $0.0969. Only three oscillator indicators were producing positive signals, compared to twenty-three that were bearish. CoinCodex forecasts that the price of the smooth love potion token will fall to $0.0642 on November 6th.
Based on their analysis of historical data, the analysts at Wallet Investor estimate that the price of SLP will fall from its current level of $0.07 to an average of $0.0073 by the closing time of the year. It predicted that the price will stay below $0.01 throughout 2022, averaging $0.0098 by year’s end. The site anticipated that by 2025’s conclusion, SLP’s price might have fallen to about $0.0085.
But DigitalCoin remained optimistic about SLP’s long-term prospects, projecting that the token’s average price would increase to $0.1207 in 2022 from $0.1014 in 2021, and then to $0.2125 in 2025. The site also estimated that by 2028, the average price of SLP might be $0.3213, with a high of $0.3435.
Additionally, PricePrediction’s SLP long-term prognosis was optimistic, with the average price predicted to increase from $0.35 throughout 2021 to $0.48 by 2022, $1.52 in 2025, and $9.08 throughout 2030. Be aware that crypto remain extremely unpredictable, making it tough to anticipate how much a coin will be worth in a week or even a month. As a result, analysts are fallible and often provide inaccurate forecasts.
Prior investing money, you should perform your own study and think carefully about the market’s current state, as well as latest events, fundamental and technical analysis, and professional opinion. Also, only put up money that you can manage to lose.
