Will Glaucus be severely punished via a Indo general offer? If we assume Glaucus had short-sold before the release of its report, it would have short-sold at above S$1.00. If the GO is at about the same level (ie, just above $1.00), Glaucus can still buy back and not lose a tonne of $.
If Glaucus did continue to short-sell as the stock plunged (which was a short few hours b4 trading was halted), then it would feel the pain on those transactions.
$ aside, at the end of the day, if the GO materialises, Glaucus would also suffer a severe reputational damage. The GO demonstrates that Indo has rejected the allegations.

If they are incapable of fully obtaining the facts, they should be shutting up. The unwarranted panic inducement they are trying to profit from is harming honest shareholders like us. Sue them once and it will act as a deterrent in future.
My take is its SAIC that is sleeping, CMZ did not dispute the authenticity of documents.
This is not surprising, SAFE and trade ministry in China has been caught sleeping too.
We must have more heroes like the offerer to burn the ..... of these short-sellers. Unfortunately, Temasek did not do likewise for Olam or else muddy waters will get their fingers burnt too.
