You never see naked shorting - it's illegal. There is plenty of proof with other companies whose stocks were being manipulated and many others currently before the courts. And, I can assure you that some, if not most, bashers are being compensated. There is no reason for them to be on these boards 24/7 if they weren't being compensated - it make absolutely no sense. If there are paid promoters here it wouldn't be a surprise to counter balance the constant FUD being spewed but I believe most are shareholders posting to counter the negative to protect their investment.
