Short seller Hindenburg Research on Thursday accused Carvana of running an “accounting grift for the ages” in a bombshell report — sending shares of the used-car retailer tumbling.

Carvana, the online used-car retailer that last week was the target of a short-selling research report, got its first broker upgrade since then which says the controversy has sparked a buying opportunity.
