Orange County bankruptcy

In 1994, Orange County California, home of Anaheim, Santa Fe, and the TV series "The OC", declared bankruptcy. The county's financial officer, Bob Citron, was found to have invested heavily in leveraged fixed income instruments, including some rather complex securities. With an increase in interest rates, the investments lost $1.6 billion.

Since early 2010 several previously unknown investment firms have issued “research reports” with reports with strong sell ratings attached. The report begins with a disclaimer advising the reader that the author of the report has already shorted the subject company. The report then details a series of concerns, often including misappropriation of assets, lack of revenues or outright fraud. Almost instantly the share price drops anywhere from 12-80%, generating huge profits for the short seller, virtually overnight.
