Brazil's XP sues short seller Grizzly Research in New York, alleges defamation

NEW YORK, July 7 (Reuters) - The Brazilian fintech company XP (XP.O), opens new tab filed a U.S. lawsuit on Monday accusing the short seller Grizzly Research of defamation over a March 12 report, opens new tab accusing XP of running a "Madoff-like Ponzi scheme." In a complaint filed in federal court in Manhattan, XP said it suffered more than $100 million in harm to its business and reputation from the report, with many longtime clients, investors and business partners withdrawing their funds. It accused Grizzly and its owner Siegfried Eggert of "brazenly, maliciously, and recklessly" publishing the report, with a goal of driving down XP's stock price so they could profit on short positions. Grizzly could not be immediately reached by phone or email after business hours, and its website was not accepting messages seeking comment on the lawsuit. Lawyers for XP did not immediately respond to requests for alternative contact information. XP's press office in Brazil declined to comment. Short sellers sell borrowed shares that they hope to repurchase later at lower prices, to replenish lenders, and pocket the difference in price. Other short sellers have been sued in the United States over their alleged defamatory reports. In its report, Grizzly said XP's alleged Ponzi scheme involved derivatives sales to retail clients, which were then funneled through special funds and misrepresented as proprietary trading profit. Grizzly said the alleged scheme was "likely to involve nefarious activities," and XP would be unprofitable without it. XP called Grizzly's claims of impropriety "demonstrably false" because its Gladius and Coliseu funds were proprietary and had no outside investors, and the challenged transactions complied with applicable Brazilian law. Shares of XP fell 5.5% to $14.14 on March 12 in New York. They closed down 32 cents at $19.48 on Monday. The lawsuit seeks unspecified compensatory and punitive damages. Madoff refers to the late swindler Bernard Madoff. The case is XP inc et al v Grizzly Research LLC et al, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York, No. 25-05564.

Jeffrey Epstein victim's diary ‘contradicts' FBI blackmail claims

The Jeffrey Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre claimed in her diary that the sex offender taped her being 'abused by other men' to use for blackmail, seemingly contradicting a memorandum by the FBI and the justice department. The memo, published on Monday, stated that there was 'no credible evidence found that Epstein blackmailed prominent individuals as part of his actions'. Giuffre, who died by suicide at her home in Perth, Australia, in April, had left behind a diary of her final months, which her family shared with The Times to tell the 'full story' of her life. • What really happened to Virginia Giuffre? 'I used to be watched by Epstein's hidden cameras, which I have seen myself,' she wrote in one undated entry. 'The FBI have the archive footage showing me being abused by other men, used as blackmail.' Virginia Giuffre's diary entry on the tapes President Trump's justice department and the FBI, which had promised 'complete transparency' on the Epstein case, concluded on Monday that they found no evidence that the convicted sex offender and disgraced financier blackmailed powerful figures, kept a 'client list' or was murdered. Giuffre became Epstein's most prominent accuser, winning multiple lawsuits against him and his estate for sexual abuse and trafficking. Questions have been asked about what was recovered from FBI raids on Epstein's various homes after his arrest in 2019. Giuffre took her own life in April EMILY MICHOT/MIAMI HERALD/TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE/GETTY IMAGES Large black binders holding labelled CDs, as well as hard drives, were discovered in several rooms in his eight-storey Upper East Side apartment in Manhattan, including in a so-called massage room. Federal prosecutors said CDs found in a safe featured sexual photographs of women and under-age girls. • Maga backlash over 'botched' Jeffrey Epstein investigation Investigators were reported to have found multiple hidden cameras in Epstein's properties, including in his Manhattan townhouse and his private island, Little Saint James, in the US Virgin Islands. At least one other victim, the Briton Sarah Ransome, has claimed that Epstein secretly filmed sexual encounters between victims and high-profile figures to use for blackmail.

Incredible moment hero caretaker saves babies from burning tower - while balancing on narrow ledge

A hero caretaker helped save two babies from the sixth floor of a burning apartment block in Paris. Fousseynou Cissé, 39, said he 'didn't think twice' about the danger as he stood on a ledge outside the building's window to help those inside. Footage shows him standing next to the window filled with black smoke, signaling to those inside to pass their children to him. He first helps a five-month old baby and hands him the infant to a man in the the next building before doing the same with a one-year-old. The school caretaker also rescued two other children and two adults from the burning building in the north end of the city on Friday . Speaking to Le Parisien, a French newspaper, he said: 'Given the amount of smoke, they and their children could have suffocated. 'Their last hope was to throw themselves out the window otherwise... I didn't ask myself the question. Their lives were in danger. I didn't think twice.' He was lying on the sofa after returning home from work when he smelled the smoke from the nearby building and saw a desperate mother holding her baby out of a window. After telling his wife to evacuate with their two-year-old, he started to help his neighbours. 'I thought I was going to die with my children,' Naomi, one of the rescued mothers, said following the sire. It has been reported by local media that ten residents have been taken to hospital for smoke inhalation Rémi Féraud, a senator, wrote: 'Impressive courage that saved lives. Fousseynou Cissé is a hero who deserves our admiration and the recognition of Paris.' French MEP Matthieu Valet wrote: 'Facing death, armed only with his bravery, he saved Naomie, her two children, a neighbor's five-month-old baby, and her other one-and-a-half-year-old child.
