The only scam pulled with penny stocks is pump and dump. In order to make money shorting, you have have more liquidity. (A billion shares of cgfia is $100,000 to $200,000, which is nothing.) This whole thing about market manipulation/shorts is nonsense. The shares are dragging their knuckles because there are huge questions about the viability and future of CGFIA. Myself, I'm hopeful, not confident, that the permit will be approved. The guys running the place seem honest, but I wonder about their competence.
