Short 'em, then sue 'em

A reminder that our Featured Discussion between Moin Yahya and Larry Ribstein has been proceeding through the week. Their topic: what if anything should be done about the phenomenon of lawyers' or their confederates' selling short the stocks of target companies before the announcement of a lawsuit. The exchange has prompted links and discussion at Reason "Hit and Run", 10b-5 Daily, Crime and Federalism, Kirkendall, RiskProf, Ideoblog first and second, and Overlawyered.
