Anyone who purchased a penny stock that was recommended or alerted by Silk or BIG (e.g., SLNX)- at the time undisclosed compensated stock promoters - and have lost money as a result,
should not only report their losses and the interactions with these undisclosed, compensated stock promoters, but should sue them personally for the losses incurred based on securities fraud committed by unlicensed financial advisors who were paid by the company to tout the stock and had a vested and undisclosed financial interest in the stock at the time(s) of the touts and alerts.
This includes, but is not limited to, SLNX, among many other pump & dump pennystock scams touted by these unlicensed, undisclosed compensated financial advisors.
They cannot remedy their liabilities by NOW disclosing that they have been paid. Too late - they are on the hook for any transactions by investors who relied upon their alerts and statements about the stocks during the time they knowingly concealed their compensation AND/OR their vested financial interest via ownership of the stocks whether paid to them as stock or in the form of purchases at significant discounts to market price.
