I have lost a lot of money on a promising biotech company, which was burnt down like that. In between a hedgefund was caught and punished by the SEC, but they (or others) continued afterwards. Imagine the loss of employment and wealth that could have been created by these targeted companies for the region, country and for the world.
These hedgefund crooks cannot be bothered how they steal their money and as far as I am concerned they should start locking them up for 10-20 years minimum. But who cares, what I think.
