they profit off shorting. So it makes sense to target them if the company has _some_ issues with fraud, even if it's a small part of their business, as it hasn't been priced in yet before this news breaks and people are positive about the company.
They aren't doing a public service or anything. It's a reason why companies like credit suisse don't get targeted by hindenburg, because the market has almost priced in all of the fraud, and the shorting opportunities arent really there.
