Huge breaking story on @abcnews from @jrojourno. #Adani sought new coal business ventures with sanctioned #Myanmar military entities on the very same day that it was telling the world it was exiting the country. Key points below🧵 abc.net.au/news/2023-05-0…
"leaked documents obtained by a Myanmar human rights group & shared with ABC Investigations reveal #Adani, on the same day it flagged its exit from the port, lodged an "expression of interest" to export coal from #Myanmar... that would help fund the brutal regime.
"In a letter to a US-sanctioned junta minister, an #Adani exec said the group was also negotiating a related electricity supply deal with the regime." Image
"A #Myanmar businessman who submitted #Adani's coal proposal, Sun Tun Aung, said after the coup Adani talked with private owners of coal deposits in Sagaing about developing mines." abc.net.au/news/2023-05-0…
"...in further revelations which cast doubt on #Adani's public disavowals of the junta, documents show it has continued to engage with sanctioned regime leaders while pouring millions into its Yangon international terminal." abc.net.au/news/2023-05-0…
"Another arm of the company, @Adaniports, last year cited its commitment to the terminal when appealing directly to junta ministers for tax breaks. "Excellency, [#Adani] has continued in investment in this prestigious project despite various external challenges.""
"The port was singled out in a UN report in 2019 as a "stark example" of foreign investment funding the #Myanmar military and posing "a high risk" of being linked to human rights violations and war crimes." abc.net.au/news/2023-05-0…
"Documents confirm a large chunk of #Adani's $US295 million ($440 million) investment in the port has gone to the military-controlled Myanmar Economic Corporation [MEC], which was slapped with Australian sanctions in February." abc.net.au/news/2023-05-0…
"Adani has paid MEC $US90 million, including a $US22 million "land clearance fee".

In the 18 months since flagging its exit, Adani Ports has loaned a further $US24 million to its Myanmar subsidiary to fund construction, dredging, and equipment." abc.net.au/news/2023-05-0…
2 things should be clear to investors from this story.
1. #Adani doesn't care about human rights. They sought new business deals in #Myanmar knowing it would enable atrocities.
2. Adani are liars. They said they were exiting Myanmar while seeking new business deals with the junta Image
#Adani's investors are complicit in war crimes and genocide. Tell Adani’s investors to stop enabling human rights abuses and cut ties with Adani Group companies. #StopAdani stopadani.com/adani-investors Image

ANOTHER 🧵OF THINGS UNRAVELING FOR ADANI'S COAL EMPIRE 🔥

If #Adani wants to prove it can do business differently it should start by halting:
🚮Carmichael coal mine
🚮 11 new coal mines destroying communities & forest across 🇮🇳
🚮12GWs of new coal power

"#Adani is seeking to sell a part of its stake in Ambuja Cement to reduce its debt & restore the flagging confidence of investors... This would be the group’s first asset sale after it was hammered by allegations by #Hindenburg..."

#Adani has pledged more shares from Adani Green as collateral for loans to Adani Enterprises - which is developing more new coal than any other company on Earth besides Coal India. @MSCI_Inc @MoodysInvSvc @SPGlobalRatings @Barclays @TIAA @BlackRock

Slight reprieve for #Adani this week due to a baffling $1.9B from @GQGPartners-who apparently❤️fossil fuels > due diligence. Aside from that it’s been a total binfire for the rapidly unraveling coal giant. Here’s another round up of bad news for Adani’s destructive coal empire🧵
#Adani Group’s complex debt structure and weak transparency, evidenced by the use of Adani Green Energy shares to support its coal unit, could further increase ESG concerns and hinder funding access.” @MSCI_Inc @MoodysInvSvc @FitchRatings @SPGlobal
moneycontrol.com/news/business/…
"Over time, the group (#Adani) has emerged as India’s biggest coal MDO — currently, it has nine MDO contracts for blocks holding more than 2,800 million tonnes of coal." @MSCI_Inc @MoodysInvSvc @FitchRatings @SPGlobal @Barclays @BlackRock @TIAA aljazeera.com/economy/2023/3…

A timely reminder for investors while #Adani is on its "charm-offensive". Only a fool would take Adani at its word. Here's a quick and by no means comprehensive thread of some notable lies from Adani. 🧵 @MSCI_Inc @MoodysInvSvc @FitchRatings @SPGlobal @TIAA @BlackRock @PIMCO
#Adani 🤥 no. 4080
Adani can’t keep its story straight about the size of its Carmichael #coal mine. The group has made many contradictory and misleading statements about the size of Carmichael, often changing its story depending on which audience it’s addressing. #StopAdani Image
#Adani🤥no. 4081
2021: Adani told @Vanguard_Group “they had capped the size of the (Carmichael) mine & intended to set an end date for operations to fit within the parameters of a 1.5°C warming scenario."
2022: Adani said they were expanding to 25-30MTPA.

It's been 1 month since #Hindenburg accused coal giant #Adani of the "largest con in corporate history". How are things looking for Adani? Ahem...

Here’s a round up of bad news rocking Adani’s land-grabbing, climate-wrecking, ecosystem-destroying coal empire this week. 🧵
"The rout in #Adani Group shares has room to run based on charts that show key stocks in #GautamAdani’s empire may still extend declines to the 85% downside flagged by #HindenburgResearch."
@MSCI_Inc @MoodysInvSvc @BlackRock @Vanguard_Group @Barclays

“Apart from the future of the billionaire & his business empire, something bigger is on the line: 🇮🇳’s probity in corporate governance & pursuit of a development model in which the state has entrusted a few ultra-rich men with running 🇮🇳’s infrastructure"

Here's another thread of things going very badly for Adani's destructive, climate-wrecking coal empire Feb 20 edition. 🧵 #StopAdani
"@Forbes has identified previously unreported transactions involving offshore funds with ties to Vinod Adani that appear designed to benefit the #Adani Group. The deals also lend further credence to #Hindenburg’s allegations..."

“Thanks to the ‘convoluted structures’ and ‘multiplicity of subsidiaries’ cited in the #HindenburgReport, #Adani has long been able to finance its dirtier operations with the proceeds of sustainable fund flows.”
