Would be interesting if someone found the deposits of gold dust, pooped out after Moses made his people eat the gold they used to make the gold calf idol.
Sure, just give the cop on a traffic stop your unlocked cell phone so he can take it back to his vehicle to examine the contents and download everything on your phone.
Did not find that story of the naked short, but at that time in 2008 some hedge funds tried to short squeeze Volkswagen and lost $30 billion in their failed attempt.
About ten +\- years ago, FR had a feel good story of a naked short seller vs a German automaker (VW?).
The guy had the intent of shorting the stock to bankrupt the automaker and enriching himself in the process. The automaker in the prior years had been buying up it’s own stock, limiting the available stocks in private hands.
The guy did his naked short sell and the automaker bought up the stocks he did not own.
Automaker’s stock value increased and there were no more stocks for the scammer to try to buy back to limit his loses, causing him to own $millions.
The Feel Good ending to the thread was the guy stepping out in front of a moving train.
