The significance of the cellar boxing post is that it introduced an important concept that explained in detail some of the methods by which certain participants (e.g. market makers) could perpetrate a strategy of naked short selling against vulnerable target companies that, when executed successfully, resulted in the target company's demise and great profits for the perpetrators.
