"If darkpulse was trying to manipulate BVTK's share price, that would definitely be illegal"
That is very hard to prove. In most "manipulation" cases it is based on manipulative trading activity. Darkpulse didn't make any mention of what the deal would mean to BVTK...they merely mentioned they (DP) got a deal.
Others inferring beyond that...which is quite common in pennyland doesn't make what DP said OVERTLY illegal.
And besides that, I hear this "it must be true because if it wasn't they would be prosecuted/go to jail/sued etc.etc." all the time.
that is probably the most dangerous assumption to make in the OTC and base an investment decision on given the amount of actual deception that goes on WITHOUT SEC action. On a relative basis the number of actual suspensions and prosecutions in the OTC is quite low
And that is actually a valid criticism of the SEC. They barely touch the surface. There are very clear and blatant scams that go on for years. The barn door gets shut usually LONG after the horses have left.
So assuming fraudulent or illegal activity isn't occurring on an OTC stock because of some perceived risk in doing so has proven to be a very bad assumption over the years.
