Anthony had a subscription website. The fees to subscribe were high. His forte was shorting stocks. He seemed to have an uncanny ability to pick winners. He would select a stock, go on his subscription website and bash it and then go on silicon investor and other sites and bash it - after his subscribers had already shorted it. He was successful because he had a large following. Many of the things he said about the co's were not completely true. He was able to raise enough doubt in other investor's minds that the stocks went down. I think he later got the idea - why not just go to the company and extort $ from them for not selecting them to bash.
