Sulja Bros. Building Supplies, Ltd (SLJB)

Pro Se - There are actually a number of ways on which Short sales of SLJB could have been perpetrated by non-US individuals, either associated with the Sulja Organization itself, or totally unrelated and separate from it.

To start, one obvious method which could have been used in a take-down attack on SLJB would be the method known as The International Short Sale.

Published descriptions of this method relate that it can be used to create Stock shorts offshore. In this method, the company is listed to trade outside the United States (usually Canada). However the company is domiciled and trading within the US. The created shares from off-shore are sold into the States. Thus, the Short Sale is moved to the Primary Country, where the shares that were created off-shore are sold, without being listed as a short.

While there are other more involved methods that could have been employed against SLJB, this is the easiest to explain and understand. If you would like me to conjecture on some of the other, more involved methods that might have been used in a takedown of SLJB, I will try to comply with such a request.
