"not particularly newsworthy given the scope and magnitude of this type of conduct" - agreed. No one cares that some of you lost money on a penny stock, it's buyer beware there. The story would be a look back at a San Diego area company that was big news back in the dot com bubble days. Paragraph 8 might mention the specifics of more recent developments. Keep in mind that I showed up here and got interested a few months ago because I was surprised that the company was still alive and people were talking about it. I bought a couple of hundred dollars worth of shares just for laughs and to see what the pumpers could do. It turned out not much. Anyway, the point is that I, as a SD UT subscriber, would be interested in such an article, and I don't think that I'm alone.
