* Rumor: three arrests in connection with illegal short selling of CSHD?

Let me guess: that highly implausible "rumor" came from Roofie's board.

And if you're wondering why it's implausible, that's because people don't get arrested for "illegal short selling". They get sued, and are subsequently forced to disgorge.



That makes perfect sense. I always appreciate your commonsense and logical posts. As usual from Rufus there's no details at all; no names, no law broken that would justify an arrest, etc.

According to what I've read, in the US, the enforcement is weak. (from Forbes)

If anyone gets arrested, it is because of the fraud committed that led to the short selling e.g.: inside info, fake PR's and the 911 terrorists etc,........not the actual short selling.

Other countries are more strict: Australia and Malaysia have been known to arrest people just on short selling.

If anyone got arrested, it was based on fraud and not short selling.
