SEC Charges Eleven in Stock Manipulation Ring

[Keith Maydak]

I never believed it, never would have believed it until the following. It was where it became clear that all things weren't neutral at ihub and that promoters had an edge. With respect to the incident, with no news, volume and interest in the stock was created allowing some with large positions to sell of their stuff to the uninformed:

Anonymous Nobody,

Contrary to the conspiracy theories that shorts and a few others have managed to dream up in the last day or two awaiting my reply, it was a rather basic Admin move.

A user or two expressed an interest in taking over the board, they have a good history with me. You aren't around that often (though you seem to be now) on the SGLS board, so I popped them in. Didn't think it'd be a big deal; you're clearly negative on the stock and that often discourages conversation when the 'Mod' is negative. You can obviously still post there.

I don't know a thing about SGLS and don't care about it. All I care about is an active discussion of the stock. That's certainly happening right now over there. I'll monitor the board. If it turns out NetGains/others is a wanker and doing a bad job, I'll put you back in.

Oh - to shorts - it's off topic to discuss Mod changes/deletions/etc on the board. You're free to discuss those with me, but not on the board, that's why I removed the few posts you guys made.
