"Be Careful For Whom Bell You Toll; For It May Also Toll For Thee."
Notwithstanding the facts recorded for Matt in the jurisdiction related to market activity, my take is still counter to the net thrown on the players in the pennies versus the "real" companies elsewhere where lies and falsehood is the rare exception rather than the norm.
Meaning Matt was following the same acknowledged twisted rules where actus reus went deep into the blue evil yonder past the point of being allowed, to where mens rea was assumed.
Thus acts of transgressings to violate a duty of moral principles existed here not.
Imagine Matt in partnership with ADVFN, so may say sealed envelope, to flesh out involvements directly internal and indirectly external to IH's penny message boards the paper trails of loses and gains obtained from stated unlawful transmissions of market information.
For here traders that were disconnected from the criminal activity, but traded with purpose to assume such and obtains gains, will have a bell toll to signal a return of profits to make whole those that played the same play and lost.
As if everyone lied and cheated, but in the end for all no money gain or lost realized.
If this scenario I conjecture comes to be, then in the eyes of the law Matt's role to help in addition justice accomplished will count as time served in a penalty box.
This twisted, but logical view can be demo'ed by Matt being the first place winner in a competition to see whom can best pervert the truth and then have the tables being turned on him when those that lost the game change what was into a new reality that transforms all liers into truthsayers except Matt that won first place as he is now charged with a crime to speak dishonest towards the others that somehow expected the truth being told.
