John Hempton, The Aussie Fraud-Hunting Short Seller Taunting Billionaire Investor Bill Ackman

FYI: On Fridays, John Hempton decamps to the solitude of his Sydney beach house, where the locals know nothing of his quirky stock research and focus on sniffing out fraud.

The tax official turned hedge fund head, who built an online following by scouring numbers that don't add up, has also posed as part of a gay couple trying to buy a home beyond their means to build a case for short-selling Australian banks. You'll find him in Bangkok, talking to prostitutes about the hair dye they use. Or squaring off against billionaire investor Bill Ackman, who says Hempton is nuts.
Regards,
Ted
