LOL...I think I watched some of this awhile ago, but you are correct, it's still funny.
If this is a Pump and Dump, it's one of the most poorly executed that I've ever seen. So I'm still not sure if this is:
1) An incredibly inept P & D.
2) A scam by people too lazy or inept to even attempt to pull off a good P & D.
3) Not a P & D scheme, just a case of complete incompetence.
Actually, given all that I know, my guess is that it's a combination of #1 and #2. I know longer believe that option #3 is viable; there is a big difference between incompetence and misfeasance, malfeasance and fraud.
