Target of explosive stock manipulation

• A Florida man has been charged over making at least 10 explosive devices in hopes of blowing up Targets (NYSE:TGT) along the East Coast.
• Mark Barnett "theorized the company's stock value would plunge after the explosions, allowing him to cheaply acquire shares before an eventual rebound in prices."
• He paid someone $10,000 to place the bombs on shelves, but before the plan moved forward, the man went to the authorities and explained the situation.
