I didn't think I left out the connection to the company itself.

This was in my post and reflects my agreement with most of your post.

I believe that as more is discovered with respect to those who are involved [in naked shorting], the connections to vulture funding, crooked ceo's, MM's excesses, etc., will all be more likely to be discovered.

As for the crying "wolf," again, it's a view from a particular perspective. There are many, many shorts who go around claiming that just about every management is crooked, that all OTC BB stocks are scams, that every long who posts is a tout, etc. Almost every "discussion" on Yahoo ends with a short claiming that he has contacted the SEC and he urges everyone else to do the same, or that he has retained counsel to sue the company. Talk about, "crying wolf!!!"

Neither side, if one wants to be painted on one side or another, has a monopoly on honesty, morality, righteousness, nor on crooks, manipulators, and scam artists. Crooks find ways to scam, irrespective of their stated investment goals and tactics, as we have recently seen at the Elgindy trial.
