The shorts have a nice game they play with the SEC.
Step 1 Find a mark with questionable management practices or weak financials
Step 2 Initiate the bear raid and shock the market with sellside pressure
Step 3 Induce fear, create panic selloff
Step 4 Watch the shareholders and management squirm as they try to cope with the falling share price
Step 4a Watch as management is forced to dilute share structure at micropenny PPS to pay the bills and continue operations, thereby, fulfilling the effect of the bear raid
Step 4b Watch as management is forced into BK and never have to cover
Step 5 Should Step 4b not come around and management mangages to hold on with BILLIONS of shares out, get SEC involved to suspend trading and initiate proceedings to exploit poor management at the expense of shareholders
Step 6 Watch as company is singlehandedly crushed by regulatory agencies, eventually revoked and never have to cover
Wash, Rinse, Repeat
Except this time, the hunted has become the hunter...the shorts took the bait, hook, line and sinker.
