It wasn't short selling here

that brought down this house-of-cards..
It was the unlimited toxic dilution that management signed up for with Cornell.
What still amazes me is the fact that Wells Fargo ever gave Tom that LOC loan for $5M ..Knowing he was in bed with the top investor in death spiral transactions on Wall Street.


So far, two hedge funds are leading the way in investing in death spiral deals. Over the past 12 months, Cornell Capital Partners has emerged as the top investor in death spiral transactions, sinking $175 million into 42 deals. In second place is NIR Group, which has invested $77 million in 40 transactions.

No other hedge fund comes close to Cornell Capital or NIR, says Robert Kyle, executive vice president of Sagient Research, the parent company of PlacementTracker.

Mark Angelo, the founder and president of Cornell Capital, a $500 million fund located in Jersey City, N.J., declined to comment. Corey Ribotsky, the manager of Roslyn, N.Y.-based NIR Group, did not return several phone calls. NIR Group has $486 million in assets under management.
