The good thing is that the people who claim to hold shares are happy to ride them into the approaching sunset. Also, since they have held them this long, they obviously don't need to sell to pay bills.
Another plus is that few brokerages will allow people who want to, to buy, so even if people are ignorant enough to believe the outlandish claims, they would have to work really hard to buy into it. So, why bother to argue? It doesn't matter any more.
