Source-Citation & Fair-Use Policy

Last updated: August 2026

We aggregate and summarize third-party research and market data. This policy sets out how we attribute sources and stay within fair-use limits.

1. Attribution

Every dossier names the originating forensic firm and links to the original published report wherever a public URL exists. Every news article and short signal credits the original source by name and links to it.

2. Fair Use

Our summaries are transformative: we extract key findings, restate them in original language, and add context — we do not reproduce reports wholesale. Quotation is limited to what is necessary for commentary and criticism. Original research and analysis by The Forensic Ledger is our own work.

3. No Paywall Circumvention

We link to publicly accessible sources. We do not reproduce paywalled or proprietary content in full. Where a source is behind a paywall, we link to the landing page and describe only what is publicly visible.

4. Market Data Sources

Short-interest, borrow-fee, and short-volume figures are drawn from public and semi-public sources (FINRA, SEC, FCA/ESMA, exchange pages, Ortex, S3 Partners, Fintel, IBorrowDesk, Finshort, and others). Each signal cites its specific source. We distinguish daily short sale volume (flow) from twice-monthly short interest (open positions) and note when a figure is a real-time estimate rather than an official number.

5. Takedown Requests

If you are a rights holder and believe our use of your work exceeds fair use, contact the editorial desk. We will review promptly and, where appropriate, edit or remove the disputed material.

Forensic Research & Investigations

We conduct deep investigative research into publicly traded companies — deploying forensic accountants, field investigators, and industry experts to uncover business fraud (overstated revenues), accounting fraud (inflated profits), or severe fundamental business flaws.

Commission us to compose a short-seller research report on a company you target. Every dossier is built to evidentiary standards — sourced, falsifiable, and ready to move markets.
