One example often brought up is Links Island, a maritime company whose stock the Singapore Exchange said had been "cornered" (reducing the free float below the required 10% minimum) during a period when the value of the stock rose fourfold in four months after its IPO in April 2000.
What's more, the number of JNPR shares sold short spiked by more than 10% during the most recent reporting period, and now accounts for a respectable 5.25% of the equity's total float.
