Seriously Wirecard was sniffed out by so many short sellers, and eventually shorting it was banned... look at it now.
But the US has more companies and activities going on and likely more fraud just by volume if not the regulatory capture and other issues from the current administration like secretaries who want to dismantle their departments. The administration itself is fraudulent, laundering campaign money to private property or court/lawyer costs, or simply rewarding friends like the current USPS head donating a bunch of money to the GOP then getting their position while holding millions in stock of USPS competitors. It's just so blatant and corrupt but nothing happens.
Everyone with the right ideas, the right motions, is always attempted to be silenced.
Life really is a circle.
