SEC Charges Eleven in Stock Manipulation Ring

yes Phil - risk warnings are prevalent throughout all retail services in the financial world - just about all investments are "risky" in varying degrees, and especially so with the small caps

what i am making clear though is although the risk is pointed out, this does not give a carte blanche for people to organise and distribute fake info - it doesn't make it right - and if those people lose money through false statements (backed up with wash trades to make it all the more convincing) they should be compensated and the culprits (fraudsters) jailed

the User Agreement is just a standard financial industry risk warning, any company in the securities world has them - however fraud still remains fraud
