2007

In June 2007, the S.E.C. found that Allied broke securities laws relating to the accounting and valuation of illiquid securities it held.

As the credit markets began to slow in 2007, Allied appeared to be unaffected.

2008

In January 2008, Allied completed a structured secondary transaction with Goldman Sachs.

On September 30, 2008, Allied Capital shares fell by more than half their value as Ciena Capital, one of its portfolio companies, filed for bankruptcy.

In 2008, Einhorn authored "Fooling Some of the people All of the Time," describing his concerns about the company's accounting practices and his encounters with the company over those years.

2009

In late 2009, Allied agreed to be purchased by Ares Capital.

The sale to Ares was approved by shareholders on March 26, 2010, and was finalized on April 1 with Allied closing for the last time at $5 a share.
