NanoSignal Stockholder Sues Major Wall Street Institutions for ``Counterfeiting'' Shares

Tuesday , August 31, 2004 09:01 ET

LAS VEGAS, Aug 31, 2004 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- A lawsuit filed in Las Vegas County Court today by a major stockholder in NanoSignal Corporation (OTC:NNOS) alleges that a group of major Wall Street institutions has systematically damaged the market for the stock of NNOS and many other companies by flooding the market with fraudulently manufactured, virtually counterfeit shares.

By mis-using its "Stock Borrow Program" for the personal profit of its members, rather than the purposes for which it was originally established in 1981, New York's Depository Trust Company (DTC) has created artificial shares in NNOS and other publicly-traded companies, the lawsuit (Case No. A491236) filed by Las Vegas resident Gary W. Walters claims.

One defendant in the lawsuit, Jersey City-based stockbroker Knight Trading Group, Inc. is presently "short" 447 million shares of NNOS, Mr. Walters' lawsuit alleges. That's more than double the number of NNOS legitimately issued and outstanding shares. This is only possible because DTC and its National Securities Clearing Corporation subsidiary (NSCC) have created hundreds of millions of "counterfeit" electronic shares that don't actually exist, Walters says.

The market value of NanoSignal's shares has been reduced by these illegal practices, Mr. Walters' lawsuit states, and he seeks to recover his damages from the defendants in this suit. "I believe that investors in many other companies have been hurt by the conduct of these defendants," Mr. Walters states. "I hope that my lawsuit will remind them once again that in all of their activities, the financial institutions that comprise Wall Street must always put the interests of the small investor first. If my suit prevails, Wall Street will have to undergo a major paradigm shift."

Commenting upon the merits of Mr. Walters' lawsuit, NanoSignal's chairman, Dr. Rupert Perrin, a two-time Nobel Prize nominee, stated that "the conduct of these institutions, abusing their positions of trust to profit from their fraudulently-obtained short positions at the expense of thousands of small investors, is irresponsible and despicable. I expect that this suit will teach them the lesson that they deserve."

This is a good company with an excellent product. The huge hospitals may be able to afford 1 m for new equipment, but think of all of the smaller hospitals in the US and around the world.

It is time for real punishment--repayment of stolen funds and some hard time behind bars.

Who is protecting criminals and punishing honest hard-working citizens?

*very* interesting reading. i will definitely keep my eye on this one, to see how the story plays out. would be great if NITE could be nailed for this! it would seem that NNOS would want to change their ticker symbol as a defensive measure, wouldn't that force a cover on all of the shorts?

i have mixed feelings on all of this 'naked short' stuff. on the one hand, i think way too many times, people blame bad stock perfomance on the 'evil MMs' or shorting. frankly, i don't give much credence, at least until hard evidence shows otherwise, that the whole berlin exchange thing is causing a lot of stocks to go down. sometimes, a stock just tanks, irregardless of any MM's or a berlin listing. i would put WNMI in this category: take a read over their last 2 quarterlies - there is a *reason* they have tanked.

however, this story about NNOS seems to have at least the possibility to be legitimate. it will be *very* interesting to see how this plays out, and if there is any way to prove if NITE is indeed short double the o/s.
