I just wonder if it was a made up story so that some asshat could try and get the stock price down a little bit more this morning.

I just had trouble connecting here. I wonder if this report is causing NN to get slammed like a cheerleader after the homecoming game.

Anyone with a $95 buy order or lots of shorts made a killing with this false (and potentially illegal) report.

There's a point in linking to 4chan, seeing as how posts delete themselves within hours?
