those evil paid bashers are all over the place
Additionally, in conjunction with the alleged illegal trading activities stated above, the company has identified certain parties who have made libelous public statements about NOHO's business operations and management. It is alleged that these individuals are "paid bashers" who are employed by market makers and others to disseminate knowingly false information to erode confidence in the company and depress the share price. "We have identified individuals who have continually made and repeated false and defamatory statements about the company and management and have relayed this information to FINRA," Mersky continued. In addition, the company is also pursuing these people outside of the regulatory process and is currently notifying, among others, the state Attorney General's Office in Tennessee, alleging violations of criminal forgery statutes. See, Tennessee Code, Title 39 - Criminal Offenses - 39-14-114.
