In late 2000 a 23-year-old man pleaded guilty to securities fraud for issuing fake negative press releases for Emulex Corporation. The man had sold short 3,000 shares of the stock in order to profit from an expected decline in price. When the stock price started rising, he used knowledge gained as a former employee of an online distributor of press releases to write and distribute a phony release that stated Emulex's chief executive had quit and the firm was restating its quarterly earnings from a profit to a loss. The press release caused the shares of Emulex to plunge until trading was halted on the Nasdaq. According to government charges, the man made a profit of nearly a quarter of a million dollars by covering his short position and subsequently purchasing additional shares of the company at the artificially low price resulting from the fraudulent press release.
