jb1967lbk - You can spin it any way you like. If you intentionally manipulate a stock or the market.......It is ILLEGAL !!

You've been reading Patrick Byrne's garbage for way too long. His RICO gambit isn't going anywhere.
There is already considerable case history that addresses this issue. Read up on the Scattered Corp case with LTV. It doesn't matter how the ticket is marked, neither naked short selling, nor creating "FTD's", is illegal.
