JOYY Inc. (YY) Investigation:

The investigation centers on the accuracy of JOYY's public statements concerning its component businesses and financial condition.

More specifically, on Nov. 18, 2020, Muddy Waters Capitalpublished a scathing report, "YY: You Can't Make This Stuff Up. Well...Actually You Can."

According to the report, YY is a multibillion-dollar fraud, its component businesses are a fraction of the size it reports, and the company's user metrics, revenues, and cash balances are mostly fraudulent.

Over the course of a year, Muddy Watersconducted a lengthy forensic study of JOYY and concludes approximately 84% of the company's consolidated revenue appears fraudulent, and its YY Live, Bigo, and online dating service are substantially fraudulent.

This news sent the price of JOYY American Depositary Shares crashing lower on Nov. 18, 2020.

"We're focused on investors' losses and whether JOYY may have misled investors about its operations and financial results," said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.
