Only they set up phoney accounts with stocks like INTC, MSFT..etc..

And he used those accounts to short...

There is a SEC investigation on going...They issued a press release..

Don't have time to dig it up now, maybe later.....

Anyway. The firms were boneheads, but the Killing was not warranted.

The punishment did not fit the crime.

And what is the "settlement" time on your trades from your margin account? Can you use the same margin for multiple trades, purchases, and sales, within one day before they settle? Yes or no.
