but Hop-On not allowed to give special shareholders insider information (the CEO asking the investor to contact him for "good news"").
Hop-On can get the investor in huge trouble if that investor passes-on the material non-public info or trades based on the insider info.
The CEO needs to be careful, because he was the ringleader of a previous scam that used fax/spam boiler room campaign to lure innocent investors into his scams. A post from one of Peter Michaels original victims in that scam was previously a stikie post here.
Peter Michaels was also the ringleader of the E-cigarette scam, where he took (and pocketed) money, but never intended to provide any product.
