Louisville, Kentucky, US – WEBWIRE – Thursday, May 21, 2020

DarkCyber, a video news program, interviewed Robert David Steele, a former Central Intelligence Agency professional. Steele publishes books about intelligence strategy and procedures. In a conversation with DarkCyber’s Stephen E Arnold, Steele reported that a major lawsuit is about to be filed in New York City after a multi-year investigation into the practice of what financial specialists call “naked short selling.” The term of art means that an individual trades in financial assets without owning these assets or having access to the assets. The practice is a violation of US law.
