Discovery is scheduled to close in the Hemispherx case on May 15, 2000. All of Hemispherx's RICO, securities violations and fraud claims have been dismissed with prejudice. Yet Hemispherx continues to falsely claim its suit is related to its baseless claims against short sellers that it uses as part of its fraudulent stock promotion scheme. Hemispherx has failed to show a single Asensio statement that was or is misleading or incorrect. Short selling involves a risk not associated with the purchase of stock including, but not only limited to, unlimited loss and stock borrowing risks.
