I'm not trying to dismiss this outright, but what is this? Is this a hoax or real? Because from the name of the site to the whitepaper, it all smells rather fishy. I also read on Reddit that they only told AMD 24h before disclosure, even though all of these vulnerabilities are supposed to be "public knowledge" anyway?

"Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ: AMD) shares are active as Viceroy Research has come out negative on the stock, saying it could become worthless.
Viceroy made the comments after analyzing CTS Labs' report exposing fatal security vulnerabilities across AMD products.
"Viceroy, in consultation with experts, have evaluated CTS’s report. We believe the issues identified by CTS are fatal to AMD on a commercial level, and outright dangerous at an international level," the report said.
It was added, "We believe AMD is worth $0.00 and will have no choice but to file for Chapter 11 (Bankruptcy) in order to effectively deal with the repercussions of recent discoveries."
Viceroy will discuss the short call on CNBC's Halftime Report at noon."
