Hometown International, Inc (HWIN)

[Big Brother]

They may have manipulated the chart, pps and market cap to a degree but it's nothing that unusual really, we see it all the time with low float stocks, especially new issue.

I think the prosecution is going to have a hard time finding many folks that got hurt in HWIN, especially given that something like 60K shares total traded in it's entire history.....in approximately 77 weeks.....before Einhorn alerted it.

I'm sure they dumped quite a few shares, right after after Einhorn brought publicity to HWIN, people may have lost some $$$s there, as they could not really sell due to the CE killing any liquidity, OTCM quickly slapped a CE on it after Einhorn.....but that was a gamble they took, they already knew it was suspect.

Whole thing is crazy, if they get more than a fine I'd be surprised.
