A trader in Arizona named Joe Campbell created a GoFundMe account to help pay the $106,000 balance he owes eTrade as his account was short the stock.
In what could be an industry first, a trader is asking the general public via GoFundMe to help repay a balance of $106,445.56 he owes eTrade because his account was short a penny stock that just surged more than 900 percent.
Campbell's eTrade balance prior to his account blow up was around $37,000.
According to Campbell's GoFundMe, he felt that keeping a short position of KaloBios was a good strategy as he thought the stock would "fade" to $2.00 from the $2.07 it closed it. After all, the company did state earlier this month that it plans on winding down operations and any expectations of strategic alternatives were "highly unlikely."
