Any time a stock is halted, people get hurt. That's one of the many risks of buying P&Ds. Another risk is it doesn't get halted, and people stay in too long and get dumped on. Oh wait, that's what's supposed to happen :)
Are you suggesting that no stock should ever be halted, no matter how egregiously scammy?
Of course this post is my opinion. Every post by anyone is an opinion. I'm not writing a white paper on scams… in this post, anyway...
