> Each stock fraud is fraudulent in its own way. But there are common elements. One is a breach between earnings as defined by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and non-GAAP measures. Another is an increase in “days payable outstanding”, a yardstick of how long it takes a company to settle bills with suppliers. Delay boosts cashflow, at least for a while. So does gathering more quickly payments you are owed. Firms with dressed-up earnings also tend to pile on debt because they lack strong underlying cashflow. And there are grounds to suspect the worst of companies that engage in a lot of acquisitions. Aligning the accounts of acquirer and acquired gives ample scope for fiddling.
> Transcripts of conference calls with stock analysts can also be revealing. If the company keeps moving the goalposts, then be on alert.

- gruez 6y agoI don't think they actually use cloudflare. Neither their nameservers nor their server IPs are cloudflare. They only copied their interstitials.
- jolmg 6y ago> nor their server IPs are cloudflare They are for me, apparently because I'm using cloudflare's DNS service, and cloudflare is returning its own IP when I query for archive.vn's. $ dig +short @8.8.8.8 archive.vn 5.196.68.232 $ dig +short @1.1.1.1 archive.vn 1.0.0.1 1.1.1.1 They don't return themselves for all hosts, $ dig +short @1.1.1.1 google.com 172.217.9.14 I wonder by what criteria they intercept, and if this by archive.vn's or cloudflare's initiative.

- rckoepke 6y agoFor others seeing this who need a short and simple fix: this seems to happen when your DNS server is 1.1.1.1, changing to 8.8.8.8 or anything else fixes it. archive.is has a disagreement with cloudflare at the moment which makes it unusable on cloudflare's DNS.
