Adani, who has denied both charges, has vowed to fight on. He said at an event after the US allegations that the firm is committed to "world-class regulatory compliance" and that each attack against the company "only makes us stronger".

Adani's fortune peaked at $122.3 billion in June after he'd worked to bolster finances following Hindenburg's attack. Those gains have now evaporated after the US allegations, and he's now worth $82.1 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
The wealth of Ambani, Asia's richest man, has also taken a tumble, if perhaps in a less dramatic and public way. It peaked at about $120.8 billion in July. But his fortune now stands at $96.7 billion as of December 13.
