Some other companies targetted by Asensio.

"Asensio & Co. has placed itself in the spotlight in recent months by
issuing scathing press releases about companies that it feels are misleading
investors (as well as companies that it might have short positions in)."
http://sec.yahoo.com/e/l/c/ccsi.html
"In June 1998, a series of negative, and what the Company believes to be
false, press reports were issued by Asensio and Company, Inc. ("Asensio") (a
short-seller which publicly admitted it held a 300,000 share short position
in the Company's stock)"

"It's a small operation--just three analysts aside from Asensio, all
squeezed into a cramped suite of offices in midtown Manhattan."
