I know you said that it might be possible to find out if short selling has been taking place prior to suspension but is it also possible to find out just how much derivative short selling has been taking place and by whom? We know for sure now that the LSE were aware at least two days before suspension about Rybak's selling and yet that information was wrongly kept from the public on account of the 8.3 delay. That means that,in effect, the LSE and takeover panel had inside and price sensitive information and they then kept that information to themselves. If it can be proved that members of the LSE were then short selling in those days pre suspension and that they were privy to Rybak selling then that surely is insider trading.
