SEC Charges Eleven in Stock Manipulation Ring

[William Lacy]

So you are saying that people shouldn't take advice from a message board...but laughed because they ignored Jim's post?!?!

Hmmmmm...

I think the reason that people get upset about losing money is that the scammers lie, which catches most people off guard. False press releases are rather unscrupulous, in my opinion...and could be a line in the sand. I would also like to add that false press releases don't only apply to IRP' but also CEO's.

Taking advice from anonymous posters is never a good idea, like you have stated, but fictitious press releases are the makings of an illegal act, in my opinion.

Edited...
