Naked short selling lets traders sell stock they never borrow or deliver, sometimes for years, and Bloomberg Television reporter Gary Matsumoto spends this investigation asking who benefits from that gap. He lays out the two sides of the fight directly: small public companies that say hedge funds used the practice to flood the market with phantom shares and grind their stock price down for profit, and hedge fund managers who call the whole thing an unintended byproduct of sloppy Wall Street settlement bookkeeping, not a deliberate scheme. Matsumoto reported, wrote, and produced the piece himself, with Mike Schneider anchoring and Antony Michels editing, and it became only the second Bloomberg Television program ever nominated for a News and Documentary Emmy, a finalist for Outstanding Investigative Reporting of a Business News Story. The film stays close to its case studies of companies alleging manipulation and the traders defending the practice as routine, without settling the argument for either side. It aired to the highest ratings Bloomberg Television had recorded for any program up to that point.
