[THE INVESTOR] South Korea’s financial regulator said on June 4 it has launched an inspection into the Seoul branch of Goldman Sachs Group for naked short selling.

On May 31, Goldman Sachs International supposedly borrowed 6 billion won (US$5.6 million) shares issued by 20 companies to engage in short-selling. The problem was, it was unable to buy back the stocks in time, indicating that the stocks weren’t in its possession at the time of the short selling.
