Also, don't forget that Brown's gang contracted with a paid promoter (shakerzzz) to pump the stocks on iHub. That's not much different from making the posts themselves.
However, unless you find an actual post by IH Matt (Admin) where he, under that specific alias, touted one of the stocks in question, I doubt you'll get Phil Hot Rod to admit that Matt misused iHub in this pump & dump endeavor. Phil's using a very narrow definition, it would appear.
