Chimera Energy Corp. Announces Aggressive Action Targeted at Naked Short Sellers

Marketwired
Chimera Energy Corp. (OTCBB: CHMR) announced today that its new
Chairman and CEO, Baldemar Rios, has recommended that the Company
immediately determine the most expeditious corporate action that
would cause a change in the Company's CUSIP number. The Company
consulted several OTC market experts who suggested that a change in
the CUSIP number was the only way to combat what has been
frequently acknowledged to be an unabashed, manipulative "naked
shorting" campaign against CHMR.
In addition, the Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K with
the SEC this morning. The 8-K includes a shareholder letter from
our new CEO laying out the current status of the Company's efforts
to commercialize its technology. The shareholder letter also
includes a more detailed discussion of recent trading activities
and a primer on "naked shorting."
"The most serious challenge facing our Company is not the highly
competitive industry in which we operate, nor the inherent
uncertainties of cutting-edge technology, but the brazen greed of
the individual(s) who are actively working every day to destroy
Chimera before our technology has the opportunity to revolutionize
the worldwide production of oil and gas," said Baldemar Rios,
Chairman and CEO. "Today we go on the offensive. No longer will we
sit idle while anonymous posters and bloggers spout egregious lies
about the Company and our technology."
While legally the sale of a security must be settled within
three trading days, anecdotal evidence indicates that the market
makers involved in "naked shorting" just keep moving the position
between themselves every few days, negating the obligation to cover
or deliver the position. This activity violates SEC Reg SHO as it
relates to short sale activities. More information can be found at:

To demonstrate the size of the "short" we need to look no
further than the company's Share Volume Report from OTCBB.com. As
of September 30, 2012 there were 66m shares of Chimera issued and
outstanding. Charles Grob, the Majority Shareholder, held 46m
shares of restricted stock in certificate form and individual
investors held an additional 16m shares through brokerage accounts.
There were also 4m free trading shares being held in certificate
form. Therefore, as of September 30, 2012 there were only 16m
shares of free trading stock available in the market.
Considering those numbers, how is it possible that the Share
Volume Report shows more than 17m shares traded hands in the month
of September? It seems highly unlikely that more than 100% of the
company's free trading stock changed hands during the month.
Obviously there is no way for the company to know exactly how many
shares are represented in the "short," however several expert
opinions put the short at more than 10m shares.
