Yes it was!

I believe this example to be part of the DOJ's 10 year investigation that Eric Holder presented in Jan-2010, saying some 5000 people were targeted for securities fraud, and naked shorting was a piece the the entire puzzle.

This particular case goes back to 2005, and many arrests have been made since, with more on the way IMO this year and next.

3 hots and a cot is awaiting many.

Thanks for the DD.
