When Melvin attends these chat sessions is he fully disclosing his past and current holdings to everyone there? If not, someone should probably suggest he talk with Glenn and ask whether or not he needs to do so. It's one thing for investors to go to him, but he's actively going to where some of them hang out. When he does such, he may fall under the requirements of Section 17(b) of the Securities Act of 1933.

It shall be unlawful for any person, by the use of any means or instruments of transportation or communication in interstate commerce or by the use of the mails, to publish, give publicity to, or circulate any notice, circular, advertisement, newspaper, article, letter, investment service, or communication which, though not purporting to offer a security for sale, describes such security for a consideration received or to be received, directly or indirectly, from an issuer, underwriter, or dealer, without fully disclosing the receipt, whether past or prospective, of such consideration and the amount thereof.
