Invisibilia just released a great podcast about trust, based on the experience of a trader who was harassed by Wirecard. The trader, who was shorting Wirecard, was subject to surveillance, and a constant stream of phishing attacks.

I'm not sure this podcast is so great. It's a self-promotional piece that takes ages to convey any information and get to the point. I regret listening to it.

Well, the first half of it was a podcast about that trader. Then it abruptly shifts into ... I don't know what. A general talk about trust or something.

It left me confused and unsatisfied.

Invisibilia is a podcast about emotions. The second half is fairly typical episode.

Many episodes of Invisibilia deal with similar topics as Hidden Brain. I find Hisden Brain better and think Invisibilia should be merged. I don’t like Invisibilia that much because it a lot about feelings and the talk is so much that I cannot grasp the main point of the discussion.

I just listened to it this morning when it came up in my feed. I had added this episode after it was mentioned in a previous HN thread about Wirecard. I guess the short seller was proven right.

How would wirecard learn who is actually shorting them?

Because the trader was public that he was shorting and why, and filed complaints with the German regulators.
