Nothing is going to happen to him, because the people he is suing are laughing at him for the frivolous lawsuit he is going to lose.
He is threat to nobody - just a laughingstock. And a legend in his own mind.
There is nothing "corrupt" about short-selling the stock of publicly traded companies. It's a standard market practice which protects investors.
short selling is fine... naked shorts are a different matter.
Dr. Patrick Byrne is a national hero.
Rocker Partners, SAC, Gradient and several so-called "journalist" like Carol Remond and Herb Greenberg are just a sample of the gutter trash that are being exposed for the criminals they really are. Overstock.com's lawsuit is moving forward and comments like yours won't be worth a sympathetic laugh (at your stupidity).
Your misinformation speaks volumes to your agenda.
Failure-to-Delivers (aka Strategic Naked Short Selling, Counterfieting Stock, THEFT) with no intention of covering the trade is the issue, not some lame attempt by you to confuse the issue with legitimate short trades.
If the SEC was doing its job, if the DTCC was not counterfieting stock to balance their books instead of facilitating the illegal trading, Failures-to-Deliver would not be a problem and the Reg SHO Threshold List would not exist. Of course, the Threshold list PROVES that the illegal trading takes place regularly.
Also clearly evident, is that if the Wall Street elites were not making so much money off the backs of innocent investors, the practice of Strategic Naked Short Selling would not exist. By simply requiring a short seller to produce the stock BEFORE the DTCC gives the buyers money to the criminals, FTD's would not be the massive problem they are today.
Being so brilliant, please explain how a company could remain on the Threshold list for almost two years.
