About Us

Capybara Research is a team of investigators and analysts who conduct deep due diligence on companies and management teams.

We specialize in finding critical information that others often miss.

We sometimes uncover scams, frauds, and bad actors.

We sometimes publish our findings in detailed reports.

We investigate dozens of companies a year, but we publish reports on only a small subset of the companies we investigate.

We Protect Our Sources.

We have an ethical duty to protect the identities of our sources, particularly when the information provided is sensitive or could put the source at risk of harm, retaliation, or legal consequences.

There is an inherent trade-off between transparency and protecting sources, and we prioritize the safety and privacy of our sources.

If you have information relevant to one of our investigations, or about a company or management team that you think we should investigate, we encourage you to reach out.

There are multiple ways to get in contact with us:

We Are Not Intimidated by Threats or Frivolous Lawsuits.

Bad actors do not like being exposed, and they often respond with intimidation, threats, or frivolous lawsuits. The more egregious wrongdoers commonly resort to the dirtiest tactics when they’re exposed. We are not intimidated by these tactics. They’re often a signal that there is more to uncover, and it drives us to investigate further.

We are entitled to our opinions, and we have a right to share them publicly. If you try to silence us with threats or frivolous legal action, we will investigate you further, we will publish what we uncover, and we will share our findings with the relevant authorities. Our track record backs this up.

FingerMotion’s Frivolous Lawsuit

FingerMotion filed a frivolous lawsuit after Capybara exposed their flawed business model, stock promotion, and shareholder dilution.

Seven months after filing, FingerMotion dropped the lawsuit without resolution or settlement. The research report remains online, we continued to investigate the company, and we published additional findings about FingerMotion’s lies. Subsequently, J Capital Research also published a report questioning FingerMotion’s business.

Safety Shot’s Frivolous Lawsuit

Safety Shot spent desperately needed funds litigating a frivolous lawsuit after Capybara exposed Safety Shot’s bogus alcohol detox drink.

Capybara ignored this pointless lawfare. The research report remains online, we continued to investigate, and we exposed more of Safety Shot’s lies. Safety Shot has since changed its name to Bonk Inc, and is now a crypto treasury company holding the BONK meme coin. This is the fourth rebrand in five years for the company.

Safety Shot has struggled since our report was published in November 2023, including:

Knightscope’s Frivolous Lawsuit

Knightscope wasted desperately needed funds pursuing a frivolous lawsuit after Capybara reported on their flawed product, precarious financial situation, and questionable management. The court rejected their motion for summary judgement and the case was dismissed without resolution.

Capybara simply ignored this pointless lawfare and continued to investigate the company and post updates. As for the Knightscope, the company has continued to deteriorate and burn cash with no financial improvement even two years after our report was published.

Knightscope continued to struggle after our report was published in July 2023:
