"Short and distort" is a type of securities fraud in which investors short sell a stock and then spread negative rumors about the company in an attempt to drive down stock prices.[1][2][3]
It is often performed as a form of naked short selling in which stock is sold without being borrowed and without any intent to borrow.[4][5] Once the stock price has declined, the investor uses the proceeds of the initial sale to buy a larger number of the company's shares than sold originally. Some of the newly purchased stock is used to fulfill the short-selling contract; the remaining shares are then offered for sale, which causes an additional decline in the company's share price.
