First, you're talking about an entirely different matter.
I do NOT think Nielsen is the only person ever who has spoofed or spoken nicely about a stock so he could sell shares. I for one agreed with him on many occasions, but never bought or sold shares because of anything he may have said. And the bid pulling was strange, but so what else is new? There's a huge bid, oops it's gone. This happens all over the stock market, every day!
Not saying it's right, just saying it's normal. It's just a matter of who gets caught doing it.
It's no different than those who constantly post negative and false information so that they can buy shares at a lower price, or cover their short position. That's not right either and they get caught too.
