Agoracom
INT has hired Agoracom for years. Seems more than possible that the thousands of Stockhouse posts, not to mention the ones here at iHUB, are Agoracom back to its old habits.
The OSC's allegations centre on the Agoracom website, and specifically address
management's administration of the discussion forums. According to the
statement of allegations, between Sept. 1, 2006, and July 31, 2009, Mr.
Tsiolis and Mr. Kondakos required their representatives, as part of
their daily responsibilities, to post anonymously to the client forums
using aliases. To post anonymously, the representatives created
fictitious usernames and posed as investors blending in with other
users, investors, and interested persons. Representatives had between
40-50 aliases (some had up to 200) and were required to make a requisite
number of posts per hub per day or risk having their pay docked, says
the OSC. On occasion, Agoracom staff conversed with themselves on the
forums using different aliases.
