A ‘Naked Shorting’ Victim — Or Massive Fraud?

In Wall Street Versus America and my blog (see this post) I described the sad tale of CMKM Diamonds, a penny stock nightmare that — as is the fashion nowadays among bad companies — was blaming its woes on “naked short selling.”

A vocal minority of the company’s 60,000 shareholders were so deluded that they demonstrated in New York and Washington and wrote nutty letters to the SEC and media, all lamenting this nonexistent problem.

It seems that CMKM was more of a nightmare than I had dreamed. In fact, it may even be one of the biggest corporate scandals of recent history.

Seems as though Weiss beat Faulk to the Punch on the CMKM tale, I had forgotten about his little book deal
