JL -- the legal issue here isn't content -- people can say whatever they want if it has any support at all.

The real issue here is coordination. Someone who had access to the embargoed results -- some reporter -- shared the data with some group of short sellers, to scour the data, create a story line, and execute the smear/short campaign.

This would be very difficult to prove unless you can establish who leaked what to whom, at what point in time.

Pyrrh had this info last week. That much is clear to me.

You may see him vanish soon. Posts and all.

Legal issue would be conspiracy... to manipulate the stock...

While its obvious to us such a conspiracy existed proving it is likely to be difficult. Someone big like the Baker Brothers would need to fund an investigation probably starting with the law firm. In all likelihood the conspiracy was compartimentalized... each part (the law firm, the articles writers) except for the very top person or persons didn't know about the other parts so the conspiracy is only tracable at its apex...

Is it possible to hold SA responsible for the content of its writers who are posing as experts when they are more a kin to fire screamers in a theatre..

It'd be really hard to hold the authors to account; press law indicates they need to knowingly publish (talking about the writers here) false information. If it can be considered opinion, then it's protected. However, if "DR Rx" is truly an MD or pharmacist, there might be an expectation of a greater awareness of facts in a medical issue, but still, when there are folks like Dr. Nissen stating similar ideas, and those folks are 'experts', then it becomes really unlikely.

As far as SA goes, their authors are not their employees, so the first hurdle would be demonstrating that in effect SA acts as there employer. Others have tried this approach with companies like Uber, and in earlier days, with newspapers and newspaper delivery boys and girls (and adults), generally trying to enforce minimum wage and other aspects of employment law. Hard to do, but occasionally a court will rule that a contractor is de facto an employee, so not impossible. After passing that unlikely hurdle, there are the same free press issues you are likely to lose on with the author facing you, but now you have a better financed set of attorneys across from you in court.

******Edits based on others' posts: I agree, that if this goes anywhere, it's likely to be based on conspiracy. Hard to prove, but people do like to brag, so ya never know...

ALL parties that apparently colluded with those HIT pieces are what the HARD CORE shorts planned on to reduce their seemingly ballooning losses AND that is despite the full details of Reduce-IT @AHA plus the online NEJM says how HARDCORE deep pocketed and connected this widening network is to plunder American ingenuity ie TSLA etc.

NOTE: I have said HARDCORE many times about Shorts since being on iHub. People have experienced it which they could have avoided vs being UNBALANCED with Euphoria and piling on with more LEVERAGE especially after a parabolic move!

Essentially it is a replay IMHO of what unchecked mounting losses shorts were facing in Late Sept 2015 with NWBO that were turned around to make BIG money shorting NWBO. But AMRN differs!

Very difficult to prove collusion along with them having 1st Amendment.

Read about CIA, FBI Ambassador Cofer Black https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/z
two paragraphs above Mitt Romney section.

Cofer Black is both a Director and Shareholder on NWBO charged with investigating the manipulation of NWBO shares since 2016!

Sadly lots of biotech co’s have faced this against $ muti bln Deepdark expanding network for $$.

Clearly a major distraction for JT & AMRN team from their major focus... that Shorts planned on IMHO.

The problem is that most all investors never consider ALL the complex market dynamics posed in terms of other parties as it relates solely to AMRN along with associated options. And it may be beyond their mental scope!

So playing it conservative vs unbridled optimism or pie in the sky valuations never work in the real world of capital market dynamics and why I have consistently said for many, many years....

Worth repeating what I posted in response to the largest holder here : ILoveTech:

Let’s take it one day at a time and not get carried away... on a stretcher or get a deep wound.

Reading those three citations that I posted earlier to1st time poster Retired. will make one a better investor IMHO.

DIFFERENT STROKES FOR DIFFERENT FOLKS
