In Feb. 2023, Wolfpack published a research report that was critical of the investment banking firm, B. Riley Financial. Wolfpack wrote in the report that B. Riley's "biggest risk is that much of its loan book appears headed for bankruptcy." In Aug. 2024, B. Riley reported suspended its dividend, warned of losses and said it had received subpoenas from the Securities and Exchange Commission. The news sent the company's stock price down 50 percent in one day.
