That's what has been going on for decades. I don't remember ever read about any company being accused of any wrong doing when someone posts an article. And so what if the author states he owns the shares? Still people would buy the stock. And as for the engineering the stock climb: come on? There is some interest in the stock. The only thing they will have to do is to sell a little less shares than there is a demand and the stock will be climbing. And every day there will be more and more demand so they will still be able to sell shares but at higher prices. And nobody would be able to prove they did anything illegal. It is even impossible in theory: Is someone going to prove they did something illegal when the sold only 200,000 shares on a particular day and not 300,000 shares?
