I have read it and unlike some I understand that thinking it, saying it and proving it are much different things. This is still the United States and everyone is innocent until proven guilty. Now to address the absolutely silly sections referenced from the complaint.
1. This "complaint" is what the SEC thinks happened; however, it is not fact until proven in a court of law!
2. It's not Fiore or Berkshire's responsibility to disclose anything in someone else's content. If a third party writes and sends out an email or writes an article, or writes a report, or writes a stock alert, it is up to the third party to disclose not the person who paid for it. FACT!
3. Again, I have read nothing this is false or misleading in all of the press releases and articles that I have read related to Plandai. If there is something misleading in an email from a third party, then the entity that wrote the email and sent it out is responsible and no one else!!!
4. It is not illegal to finance an email, a report, an article, a stock alert, etc., and it is not illegal to finance a stream of the above, and it is not illegal to finance a steady stream of the above. It is done ALL day EVERY day by MANY and the person financing one, a stream or a steady stream of content is not responsible for what a third party does or does not disclose.
So, the SEC and those who dislike the parties in the complaint are in for a rude awakening when it comes to turning ideas of what happened into proving them in a court of law or proving if anything at all happened. Until then, this complaint carries the exact same weight with its unproven accusations as the Forbes article carries with its case against shorts doing the exact same thing as alleged in the complaint.
