I didn't mean to imply anyone is guilty of "pumping and dumping". I'm just saying that those are the only people I have no sympathy for. My definition of a "pumper" though doesn't require outright lying - just posting one way and acting another. If you're buying and telling your friends and family "this is a great stock", I have no issue. It's the ones who are selling and posting "this is a great stock" that I take umbrage with.
Not my place to judge, that's up to God, karma, fate or individual's consciences.
While it's possible Skins hired promoters to move the stock (I certainly hope not, but who knows), I think it's far more likely that the "enthusiasm" which you feared came from those with a lot of shares or someone trying to set up a pump and dump. Paid promoters are of course supposed to disclose that (and pay a fee) at ihub. I'm sure not all do.
Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
