You are the idiot who has been holding this garbage since 2009.
A paid basher is a myth that was started over 20 years ago - to the novice OTC investors who believe there is rampant naked shorting - which is hilarious.
Actually, there is very little shorting - but those that don't understand OTC investing and securities law post about paid bashers and naked shorting.
Hell, you thought you could short a $0.0001 stock - or short a CE or expert market stock.
The SEC has never charged with what you called a paid basher for securities fraud but many paid pumpers have been charged and incarcerated.
The Paid Basher myth was started over 20 years ago as a joke to embarrass novice OTC investors. Look closely for FAKE!
"Confessions of a Paid Basher - The first version of the “Paid Basher Confession” was posted as a joke in November, 2000 to the Raging Bull message board by Steve Tracy, aka Firebird_1965.

Today I want to come clean about something I feel very badly about. I
cannot undo some of the things I have done, but hopefully this message will prevent other such occurrences in the future.
I am a paid basher.
Yes, it is true. Today is my last day at this company; I?m moving on to a new job. But before I go, I want to explain a few things because this just isn?t right and I won?t feel good about myself until I expose this sham. It?s hurt too many people and I don?t want it on my conscience anymore. I can no longer live with a lie.
I work for a company called Franklin, Andrews, Kramer & Edelstein. in
Stamford, CT. Basically, it?s a Boiler Room much like the one in the movie of the same name."
Did you look at the name - Franklin, Andrews, Kramer & Edelstein
Yes, that is right FAKE.
This is a truncated version - you can look it up and read the entire post.
