According to the live press conference on CNBC, the hoaxster is a guy named Mark Jacob, a former InternetWire employee over the summer. He had attended El Camino Community College and had used computers at their resource center to e-mail InternetWire the phoney PR. Two weeks ago he shorted 3000 shares of EMLX at between 72-92, and covered the day of the hoax for a profit of $50K. He then bought an additional 3500 shares of 52 for 180K. Three days later he sold for a $186K profit. - Jeff
