Sorry - your post really is off topic
You really need to read the IBOX then.
Its dead on topic, in ibox, Other related topics like pump and dump schemes and naked short selling are welcome.
OSTK is in the spotlight of the NSS story. My point is. Shorting Hedge funds don't just throw darts at a wall and say. Gee, let's go short this company out of business for fun. They always have a reason to short, most of time it is because they have cover already in place.
I don't think OSTK is a scam at all. It's a struggling company that don't seem to know how to turn a profit while doing millions in sales.
