J2 Global (JCOM) Investigation:

The investigation focuses on J2 Global's accounting practices and investor disclosures.

J2 is a digital media roll-up that has acquired 186 businesses since its inception. Its CEO describes the company's "acquisition system" as its "single great competitive advantage."

But on Dec. 12, 2018, Glasshouse Research released a forensic report stating J2's "acquisition accounting remains suspect," and concluding "that management has touted many farce operating metrics that do not show J2's true economic value."

More recently, on June 30, 2020, Hindenburg Research took aim at the company, stating "[w]e … believe J2's opaque acquisition approach has opened the door to egregious insider self-enrichment, which we believe approximates $117 million to $172 million[.]" Hindenburg concluded "We Believe J2 Global's Equity Is Uninvestable."

In response, the price of J2 Global shares traded sharply lower.

"We're focused on investors' losses and whether J2 Global may have intentionally misrepresented the success of its roll-up strategy," said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.
