Another Short Seller Bites the Dust
March 20, 2003. (FinancialWire) A number of other public companies associated with the naked short seller wars have emerged on the FinancialWire radar today, bringing the number now to an astounding 74. The news was topped by an announcement that a judgment of liability has now been entered against Mark Valentine, former chair of Thomas Kernaghan & Co. Ltd. in favor of Hyperdynamics Corp. (OTCBB: HYPD), with litigation support by Litidex, a unit of ITIS Holdings Inc. (OTCBB: ITHH). The attorneys for Hyperdynamics, John M. O’Quinn, Esq., and Christian, Smith and Jewel, also represent Eagle Tech Communications (OTC: EATC), Nanopierce Technologies (OTCBB: NPCT), Endovasc Ltd. (OTCBB: ENVC), RTIN Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB: RTNH) and ATSI Communications, Inc. (AMEX: AI) in cases against alleged illegal stock manipulators and naked short sellers.
Also new on the screen is The Auxer Group, Inc. (OTCBB: AXGI), which announced that it is considering “exiting” the Depository Trust and Clearing system to combat what it believes is illegal naked short selling. Edgetech (OTCBB: EDGH) said it is now investigating whether illegal manipulation of its stock is occurring, and is considering exiting the DTC. In another development, Continental Energy (OTCBB: CPPXF) contacted FinancialWire to join six others listed by Financial News USA as part of its “network” to say that the release was unauthorized, and that the company is “not” part of a “network.”
That brings to seven, or almost half, who have now disclaimed the release. Meanwhile, FNUSA has reissued the press release without attributing it to the prior list, and has invited professionals and public companies to join its effort. Unless extended, it is believed that the comment period for the DTC’s request for SEC authorization to limit defections from its system will end today.
There are now 74 companies named to date on one side or another of the naked short selling controversy, including A.G. Edwards, Inc. (NYSE: AGE), ATSI Communications, Inc.
