	CNN.com - Livedoor CEO steps down as president - Jan 24, 2006
		Livedoor, whose stock was put on special watch list on the Tokyo exchange, has lost about 64 percent, or $4 billion, in market value since authorities raided its headquarters.
		Livedoor's shares were flooded with sell orders on Monday and ended down by their daily 80-yen limit at 256 yen, a level that KBC Securities has calculated as a worst-case scenario break-up value if the group had to be sold off.
		Livedoor is believed to have issued new shares to "acquire" companies that were already under the group's control and then sold them in the market for a profit, media reports have said.

		This deal is at the center of the investigation into Livedoor that prompted a massive sell-down of Japanese shares on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on Wednesday, raising volume levels so much that the TSE suspended the day's trading 20 minutes early because its computer systems were being overloaded.

		Livedoor and Livedoor Marketing said in a joint statement they believed that they did not have to disclose the acquisition of Money Life when it was bought by an investment fund associated with Livedoor because the fund was not directly controlled by Livedoor's investment unit, Livedoor Finance.

		Livedoor was the most prominent abuser of stock splits, and we are now seeing the results.
		Livedoor understood that once it decided to do a stock split, there was no reason to stop at 2-for-1.

	CNN.com - Sell-off spurs Livedoor slide - Jan 20, 2006
		The investigation of the Livedoor group prompted a massive sell-down of Japanese shares on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on Wednesday, raising volume levels so much that the TSE suspended the day's trading 20 minutes early because its computer systems were being overloaded.
		Livedoor has been asked to submit to the Tokyo Stock Exchange by Friday the findings of an internal investigation into a number of its deals.
		In each case, the Livedoor group is believed to have taken over the target firms with cash funneled through investment partnerships, which were effectively under its control, before "officially" acquiring them through stock swaps, the Nihon Keizai said in a report.

		Livedoor's portal currently accounts for just 10% of his group's revenue, but Horie hopes to increase that by beefing up content and adding new services.

		Precise details of the reason for the raids or Monday's arrest have not been provided by prosecutors but a string of local media reports throughout last week said Livedoor is suspected to have misled the market on a number of acquisitions it made over the last couple of years.
		The raids caused investors to panic and set Tokyo stocks diving for two straight days culminating in an early closure of the Tokyo stock market on Wednesday because the number of trades was approaching the computer system capacity.
		Livedoor stock has been quoted down by its daily limit on each day since the raids.

	Livedoor's Horie pleads not guilty to securities law violations - MarketWatch

		Before his arrest, Horie was a high-profile and controversial figure with a penchant for taking on the country's business establishment through his business and personal style.
		Livedoor's strategy of growing through acquisitions, frequently financed by stock swaps, was also unorthodox in Japan, and seen by many as a challenge to a conservative business culture focused on gradual, organic growth.
