Technically, these investors say, they don’t own the shares at all, just the “economics” of them. Shouldn't the banks, that "own" the shares during the swap period, be required to file the 13D due to the above technicality?

With good forensic float analysis, this guy could fight back. There is a probability (NFI) that during this transfer of shares, the float was trading Above its legal limits of share issuance. The degree of desking going on is off the charts, its a wholesale rape of investors. Bottom line ugly. Who has even seen a market price? There aren't any its all systemic intent, with absolutely no ramifications for them doing the deed.

The Potential Transformation of NFI Hedge funds may use the technique as described in the NYT article in transforming a company. "The bad news reached Neil Ashe, the chief executive of CNet, as he lounged on the beach in Mexico on vacation with his family over the holidays. The company’s lawyer called to say that two hedge funds had secretly acquired the equivalent of a 21 percent stake in CNet and planned to mount a proxy contest to take over the board. ..." Suppose a hedge fund using $4 million,and through the same route, acquires the equivalent of 21 percent stake in NFI and mounts a proxy contest to take over the board. Assuming the party succeeds, it may first pay off the entire amount owed to the Wachovia Bank. Then the new owner INJECTS a privately-owned business, e.g., a start-up in solar energy, into NFI. With NFI's 8-9 million shares of short positions outstanding, the stock would soar. Novastar Financial (NFI) has been transformed into NSE (New Solar Energy). In short, NFI may just be a cat with nine lives. pcyhuang
