German to English: Interview
Source text - German Lang: Herr Straub, Sie sind in der Öffentlichkeit ins Gerede gekommen, weil von Wirecard Informationen der CMC Bank veröffentlicht wurden, dass Sie durch Leerverkäufe am Kursverfall der Wirecard profitiert haben sollen.
Das ist richtig, ich habe eine Shortposition in der Wirecard-Aktie, wozu ich stehe.
Ich verstehe jedoch durchaus, dass einige Aktionäre der Wirecard AG verärgert sind. Keiner verliert gerne Geld.
Man sucht dann gerne die Schuld bei anderen und macht es sich einfach, den Überbringer der schlechten Nachricht zu köpfen. Jedoch entstehen die Verluste bei Gesellschaften wie Thielert oder jetzt eben Wirecard durch zu hohe Bewertungen, die durch falsche oder zumindest irreführende Jahresabschlüsse der Vorstände zu verantworten sind. Letztlich waren diese Anleger somit schon beim Kauf der Aktie geschädigt. Hierfür sollten sie die Verantwortlichen auch zur Rechenschaft ziehen.
Translation - English Lang: Mr Straub, there has been a lot of talk about you recently, because Wirecard published information from CMC Bank whereby you were accused of having profited from a slump in prices of Wirecard shares by short selling the shares.
That is correct, I hold a Wirecard shares short position; I am not denying this. I can also understand that some Wirecard corporation stockholders are angry. Nobody likes to loose money.
It is common to look for someone to blame and to take the easy way out by shooting the messenger who brings the bad news.
Losses in companies like Thielert and now Wirecard occur because estimates are set too high as a result of false or at least misleading year end results which the board of directors is to be held responsible for.
Ultimately the investors were already being cheated when they purchased the shares.
It would be appropriate to also hold the people accountable who are actually responsible for what happened.
