Viceroy Research announced on its website that the firm is short Medical Properties Trust (MPW), which it calls "a healthcare property REIT who has engaged in billions of dollars of uncommercial transactions with its tenants and their management teams in order to mask a pervasive revenue round-robin scheme and / or theft." Medical Properties "employed an aggressive, debt-fuelled roll-up strategy in order to affect these transactions" and as a result of its "uncommercial transactions" the value of its assets "are massively overstated," the short-seller contends.
