That’s exactly why someone (don’t know who) would do it. The level of ethics in this realm is pretty low so I expect unsavory and/or nefarious acts until proven otherwise.
On the other hand, it could be the individual who created that twitter page innocently tweeted the relevant quote from the NBC news story and another person who saw it interpreted it as anyone else would have, thinking the tweet was from IPIX. It looks like it is. By design? Who knows.
that the Twitter account in question is managed by the Stocktwits group that has recently shown an interest in IPIX. As evidenced by the discussion here, it's an effective tool to influence their trading schemes.
I'm 100% confident that the account and its contents are not sponsored or authorized by IPIX.
Surely someone can get in touch with Leo to find out if the Twitter account is managed by IPIX. They don't have any link to it on the website but that's not definitive.
I suspect it's not the company and someone is running a pump for Monday.
