CELG was reprimanded because their salesmen were advising doctors that Thalidomide could be used against multiple myeloma, a deadly cancer with little in the way of treatment available. This is in fact against FDA rules, although studies not yet finalized have been very promising:

"Progress in the treatment of multiple myeloma over the past two decades has really been minimal. From that standpoint, these findings would have to be considered quite encouraging", says Harmon Eyre of the American Cancer Society."

CELG has a number of other very promising drugs in development, a recently completed $300 Million secondary offering, and the backing of a "murderers' row" of SI biotech sluggers.

I got lucky, and panicked into a pretty good sale price after the peak, so you won't affect me. But I have to think there are better shorts out there.
