What's really interesting is seeing the same people sound the same alarms about extremely popular companies that continue to trade today, and yet our regulators, auditors, and journalists all ignore them. We really never learn. If I were a regulator I would be taking short seller statements extremely seriously when it comes from one of the proven reliable ones.
