is the story I remembered. I hope none of our prolific posting German friends are involved.

SAN DIEGO, Aug. 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Patriot Scientific Inc. (BULLETIN BOARD: PTSC) , a developer and owner of core microprocessor technologies, announced today that it has demanded an immediate delisting from the Berlin-Bremen Stock Exchange in an attempt to prevent trading practices that are illegal in the United States.

Patriot Scientific said the company's stock was listed on the exchange last March by a German broker without the company's knowledge or consent. Initially, the company believed the additional exposure on a European exchange would possibly be useful in broadening exposure for the company's activities. Since then, however, there have been numerous reports in the media that some stock traders may attempt to use the Berlin-Bremen exchange to manipulate stock prices and avoid the SEC regulations that forbid activities such as naked shorting. Patriot Scientific said it instructed the German broker to immediately remove the company's common stock from this exchange.
