Professors charged with illegal shorting.

Two professors (from Florida State) are caught by the SEC for illegal naked shorting.   While they don't admit guilt, they did agree to pay a hefty fine.

Shorting isn't illegal, but naked shorting can be.  Naked shorting occurs when you sell a stock that you don't own and then fail to deliver the stock to the person you sold it to.
