Short-Seller Grizzly Accuses Chinese AI Software Firm SenseTime of Inflating Revenues

SenseTime Group Inc. shares plummeted nearly 5% Tuesday after U.S.-based short-seller Grizzly Research released a report accusing the Chinese AI software developer of inflating its revenues.

Grizzly’s report, citing court documents and social media posts, alleged that SenseTime engaged in what it called round-tripping, where it provided funds to customers who in turn used the money to purchase products from SenseTime that might never have been delivered.
