lol, I'm sure YOU wouldn't do any of those things. Neither would I. But I've seen a lotta penny ceos do a lotta very dumb things.

Start with Mad Mikey Sylver of AZNT. He made all kinds of crazy promises and claims. And he'll very likely end up in jail for doing so.

Ditto for Ira Monas. Forget the name of his company, but whadda whackjob. He may be outta slam by now.

Then there's Tom Hughes of ECNC/T/I. The stock was halted once, and the company sued, for releasing "misleading" PRs. Incredibly, Hughes did it again. That time he went to jail.

More currently, we have Richard Altomare (aka Captain Fluffy) of USXP. He's another one who claims his stock has a Huge Short Position. He's suing the SEC for "harassing" him, by which he means the SEC asked him to prove that claim. The SEC got sick and tired of him, and has brought its own suit, charging Altomare with 118 counts of fraud.

Then there was Dan (Fatboy) Hoyng of IFTA. He used to brag about flying on Mark Valentine's private jet, and tried to impress shareholders with his high-roller gambling. He's now bankrupt and has several judgments against him.

I could go on practically forever.
