Well it all falls back onto the ones running the scam. Trying to sugar coat it or pass the blame is irrelevant to me.
Anyone buying on the up are just doing their thing. Sure, hyping for cash is shady but it is all part of the game.
Shorts.. well even though we have different opinions on just how much happens in the OTC, it still isn't a scam. If someone knows a stock is a P&D and want to profit on the dump that is fair game. Shorting isn't a scam.
Now the hype lies I consider VERY shady, but I don't think someone promoting "dreams" is a "scam" per say. Just a little shady if they know deep inside that it isn't the truth. This could also work on the downside. Equally shady but still not a scam.
When you tear the LAHO fiasco apart and dissect it the blames fall 100% on the ones who orchestrated and operated the scam. The ones who knew what they were doing from the get go and the ones whose main intention was to defraud people for their own personal gain.
That would be David and Benito.
Blaming anyone else is just silly and doesn't benefit the ones scammed at all. If anything it hurts the scammed as they will never learn a valuable lesson in OTC trading.
MY POST ARE MY PERSONAL OPINION ON THE STOCK. DO YOUR OWN DD BEFORE BUYING AND SELLING!
PLEASE FOCUS ON THE STOCK AND NOT ON ME PERSONALLY
