SoFi aggregates realized and unrealized gains in its Level 3 asset rollforward tables, violating GAAP disclosure rules. This lack of transparency prevents investors from verifying if SoFi's internal valuation models are artificially inflating earnings with paper markups. The author holds a negative position, anticipating that forced compliance will reveal overvalued assets and validate previous short reports. SoFi amends its filings to show its models are accurate, or the SEC does not enforce the disclosure rule.
