If it is a scam, then why not just do what Enron did and funnel money into bogus projects and pocket the money for yourself?
Why would they screw Lehman brothers, one of the largest investment comapnies in the world? Rufus, et al, better find a remote island somewhere where nobody can find him if it is.
I don't think it is a scam.. however, some bashers in here do have a point about people willing to pay $15 for a $1 stock... there probably is just not that enough investment capital out there if everyone decides to sell at once to maintain that price, or whether the business model is actually tenable in the long term.
I'm hoping the short squeeze will at least take care of some of that in the short run.
