EMLX comments on hoax

Emulex Corp. (EMLX: news, msgs) has now put out an official press release saying that
"unknown persons have published and circulated a fictitous press release this morning." Shares
are halted and no reopen time has been announced yet. According to Emulex, the SEC and the
Nasdaq surveillance team are investigating. "Emulex shareholders should be assured that our
business is at record levels and the fundamentals of our business and my commitment to this
company have never been stronger," said Paul Folino, president and CEO. Shares were halted
down 48 1/16, or 43 percent, to 65. (See 10:45, 11:10 and 11:27 items.)

Tom Costello from CNBC on the NASDAQ floor reports that an FBI spokesman from the Computer Fraud Unit is now at the company and investigating.

Looks like they think the release originated from within the company! Someone with an agenda.

Tom repeated that all trades before the HALT will stand.

What a tragic event. Not many made out today except those who were short early on, covered during the drop or those who bought during the quick drop OR those long who were just out for a walk.

Again, sorry to here of the situation for you Greg. Making money is all we care about and to get smacked like that for many is a cruel prank. I hope you still made out o'k!

Rich!
