Illegal naked shorting practices abroad, like Goldman and Soros in Asia, are being fought by foreign governments. Illegal naked shorting is simply stealing. It's that simple. It is like walking into a "store," filling up one's shopping cart and walking out. The U.S. has been allowing it for far too long. If one owns a "store" that gets hit hard by illegal naked shorters, the shorters become wealthier and the "store" goes broke. Hong Kong seems intent on stopping illegal naked shorting by the big players/theives.
