About "The Wall Street Conspiracy"
The film walks the viewer through the illegal practice of Naked Short Selling, a process through which trillions of dollars have been stolen from hard working Americans by selling them counterfeit stock that does not exist.  The Wall Street Conspiracy documents how this terrifying flaw in the system, exacerbated by the electronic execution of computerized trades, can destroy good public companies along with millions of jobs at these companies whose stock is being manipulated.
