    Muddy Waters short attack and market-manipulation allegations

    Muddy Waters Research issued a short report alleging financial inaccuracies at Burford. Burford rejected the accusations and stated that it had identified evidence consistent with illegal manipulation of its shares around the attack. The episode brought scrutiny to the company's accounting, valuation, governance, and the irregular timing of litigation-finance returns.
