Oh yes here it is. "The Journal never changed its stance. But last week, the editorial finally saw the light of day at _Forbes_ (http://www.forbes.com/opinions/2008/09/23/naked-shorting-trades-oped-cx_pb_0...) - after Byrne added a few paragraphs explaining that naked shorting had hastened what could turn out to be the biggest financial crisis since The Great Depression."
Now what? Evidently he isn't insane or a crack-pot too much anymore.

Well, no. He's still hired people to work for his company with the sole purpose of having them publicly attack and slander his perceived enemies, including actively trying to infect their computers with viruses. He still claimed that a "sith lord" was orchestrating massive naked short selling campaigns to destroy his company.
Basically, he identified a means by which the market could theoretically be manipulated, and claimed that it was the reason his company was doing badly. Eventually the market as a whole did badly, and one component of that was possibly maybe the means he had identified, so the rules about that got tightened. He then declared victory and vindication.
