  • Arthur Laundy Can Lay Claim to Knocking His Over-Achieving Sons out of the News
    MARGIN CALL Tough call checking on Checkmate Research Illustration: Rod Clement ELI GREENBLAT The Australian 12:00AM June 26, 2018 A B C D K 1 Would the real Checkmate Research please stand up? Or at least please call? There ain’t nothing wrong with short selling or analysts highlighting short opportunities, in fact it can be a healthy clean- up role for the market in the same way that lions and leopards clear out the old and the sick from the herd, or vultures clean up the mess later. In the equities world it was short sellers who first declared the emperors at US energy giant Enron “had no clothes” — and were proved right — and the same could be said about Glaucus Research, which hunted down shaky sandalwood company Quintis. But in both cases at least the authors of the report put their name to it, had a website and an office anyone could contact. Not so much with Checkmate Research, which put out a detailed and scathing analysis of the Thomas Beregi-run financial services company Credit Corp last week that poked dozens of holes in the operations of the business and made a number of salacious claims, which won’t be repeated here. Thanks to cyberspace that report spread like wildfire and Credit Corp, left boxing at shadows and with no contact details for Checkmate Research, could only put out an ASX release denying the facts as its shares slumped 20 per cent. That’s $200 million stripped from its market cap. ASIC says it is “looking into it’’, but looking into what? There are no contact details for Checkmate Research and for all our regulators know it could be based on a teenager’s computer in a suburb of Lagos, Nigeria or maybe a computer in the Kremlin.
