That is unquestionably ILLEGAL. It is material non-public information provided as an insider tip. At a minimum, it violates Reg FD. More likely it constitutes an attempt at stock manipulation and insider tipping.
The content of the message only needs to be considered material by a reasonable investor. Just saying "earnings will be good (or bad)" or "there will be some revenue" is clearly material for a pennystock with zero earnings in the prior Qs.
Even if the information was false, it is an attempt by an insider to manipulate the stock.
This is a clearly illegal act and potentially criminal.
