"2018 (December): We wrote an article about Yangtze River Port & Logistics (NASDAQ:YRIV), a $2 billion market cap China-based logistics company. Our investigation found that the company’s key asset didn’t appear to exist, among other major anomalies. The company sued us, alleging defamation, so we redoubled our efforts with numerous additional findings. Multiple independent media outlets and a law firm corroborated our reporting (1, 2, 3). The company was delisted from NASDAQ 6 months later, lost over 98% of its market cap, and now has a “caveat emptor” warning on its OTC ticker. The lawsuit against us was subsequently dismissed."
