On June 30, 2020, analyst Hindenburg Research issued a series of tweets and published a report regarding J2 Global, Inc. entitled "J2 Global: Troubling Related Party Transactions, Looming Impairments and a Suspicious History of Insider Enrichment Spanning Decades."

In its report, Hindenburg writes that "J2's opaque acquisition approach has opened the door to egregious insider self-enrichment, which we approximate totals $117 million to $172 million based on publicly available information." Hindenburg continued that J2 had recently committed $200 million of shareholder cash to a newly-formed investment vehicle run by its Chairman, who has a track record of venture investment failures. Hindenburg further stated that it found decades of intertwined financial interests between board members and executives, calling several of J2's directors' independence into question. Hindenburg also raised "tricky accounting," noting that J2 has never taken a goodwill impairment, yet the Company's subsidiaries have reported multiple material goodwill impairments that do not appear to coincide with J2's financials.

On this news, J2 Global's stock price fell over 9%, to close at $63.21 on June 30, 2020.
