Unfortunately it's more common than you think... I remember this case in particular from some years ago:

Why is calling out fraud unfortunate?

With respect to St. Jude, Muddy Waters was at least partially right [1].

Presumably GP is not saying that the calling out of fraud is unfortunate, but that the fraud itself is unfortunate.
Precisely, sorry if it was not clear enough. Pointing vulnerabilities and betting on the side to effectively become a stakeholder raises some concerns on your true intentions, even if it could be legal to do so.
