""SEC would've been on them. If you can show me where that happened "" You must be counting on a lot of newbies (or at least people not familiar with he SEC). That's right in there with "look at all the short sales reported by FINRA". This tells me you have never looked at the SEC sight : http://www.sec.gov/litigation/litreleases.shtml or the timeline illustrated by the SEC postings was somehow forgotten?
