Hi, Renee
The doors actually haven't closed yet. The case remains open for further proceedings. These proceedings may very well be directed toward "pound-the-table internet persons" and tainted brokers. Just as proceedings should be commenced toward the stock beneficiaries who illegally profited from the sale of unregistered shares, or who shorted the stock, everyday, even though the company was on the RegSho Security Threshhold List.
Posters on this board appear to be dedicated to fraud prevention. I think focusing on fraud deterrence should be a component of that effort. Trying to achieve that objective, for me, is anything but a "self-imposed prison sentence." You and the others here feel the same way, or you wouldn't be here everyday.
People are going to keep breaking the law, if there is no deterrence because the laws are not enforced.
