Agreed KELLY. Just as I suspect a very small portion of what was PR'd for AURC was indeed taking place (the geological report for instance) but it had nothing to do with anything that North American shareholders know, it was for PUMA. Only after being clearly busted did the 'players' backtrack and somehow connect it to Aurus for the benefit of it's 'shareholders'. Now the buyout, meeting, etc were all pure pink sheet pump and dump, but no doubt a very few of the things being PR'd may have been happening, they just had nothing to do with Aurus the 'longs' own. Or surely if they did I think you know that the Russians would quickly transfer anything of value out of 'shareholders' hands. Corrupt Russians aren't in the habit of giving value to North American 'financers' (LONG and STRONGS)...in the 'real' world.
As for me playing a vital role, if exposing the scam and not pretending it isn't what it obviously is makes me a player, so be it. I won't just sit there while pump and dump con artists sucker in more and more innocent investors and whistle as if the whole thing isn't happening. It's a truly sad state of affairs that somehow I'm the bad guy for pointing out scams and criminal behaviour but so goes the bizarro world of ihub.....
But I do have no doubt that the cons running these pump and dumps do play them both long and short. They make up the lie ie buyout etc, drive the price up and sell, then short it when it's obvious the amateur lie has been exposed and it's clear to most people not in fantasy land that they have been had. I think they actually want to appear more like bumbling idiots after shorting it for obvious reasons. There's no other excuse for the way they clearly leave shareholders out to dry. It's the pump and dump artists running the scams shorting it and doubling their money after quadrupling it+ on the way up. It's sad the authorities don't step in but it is what it is I guess...
As for Tony Papa I would compare it maybe to Al Capone. Didn't he in the end go to prison for tax evasion? It's the easiest crime to prove.
