This is a typical SEC enforcement. Disgorgement, injunctive relief, civil penalties and interest. The penalties are negligible compared to the potential rewards of not being caught. I see no criminal charges or jail time in a cell where Bubba wants them to be his girlfriend. They need time in "pound them in the #ss prison" to really scare them. "The complaint charges Grossman and Curshen with violating Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5. The Commission seeks permanent injunctive relief, disgorgement of ill-gotten gains, if any, plus pre-judgment interest, civil penalties, and an order prohibiting Defendants from participating in any offering of penny stock."
You're looking at the SEC civil action. That's what I mean about amateurs. Go find the DOJ indictment for Securities Fraud. Screw the SEC. You want RICO indictments.
While you're at it why don't you post links to any SEC enforcement actions against naked short sellers?
Bite me. and maybe I do know it all. Ever think of that? In2006 Greenberg and Cramer were tight as ticks. They received SEC subpoenas for cause that were mysteriously crushed by on e LInda Thomsen, Dir of Enforcement of the SEC. Where's Herb Greenberg? Oh, and here's his pal, who, if you look will find him call us all nuts: http://www.thestreet.com/_yahoo/vid...?cm_ven=YAHOOV&cm_cat=FREE&cm_ite=NA#10437879 Now where did Herb go, and why is Jim my friend? Hey. Maybe I do know it all.
One little problem; if it will be difficult for people to short, who will be willing to buy in a panic if there are no shorts to cover?
If the stock gaps down low enough, there will be buyers. So, for all those looking to stop shorting to prevent price discovery because they don't like the price that will be discovered, buckle your seatbelts.
No one in my camp ever wanted to stop shorting. What we are saying is obey the law and settle the trades. Don't resort to extortion, fake stories from paid journalists, and innuendos to make your bones. Is that so difficult?
