DraftKings shares plunge as short-seller alleges organized crime link

By Brendan Coffey, Sportico: Shares in fantasy sports pioneer DraftKings plunged more than 11% in early trading Tuesday as short-seller Hindenburg Research issued a report stating the company has “exposure to extensive dealings in black-market gaming, money laundering and organized crime.”

The report was posted online prior to trading Tuesday. Hindenburg said it has taken a short position in DraftKings, meaning it aims to profit from shares falling in price.
