This looks really bad for BaFin, they basically treated the Financial Times as criminals for blowing the whistle over the last few years.

It's going on, with a variety of companies, every day. The entire system is beyond corrupt. Regulators are siding with frauds instead of investigating them.

A major red flag of corporate fraud is attacking journalists and blaming "short-sellers". Have these entities ever caused the demise of a legitimate company?

Does it matter if the corrupt BaFin officials who decided to treat the journalists as criminals are not prosecuted?
