I doubt that's true, and it's not good when people get screwed by these crooked pinks.
What I do find odd is that long after it looks like the "bashers" were right, some longs find it cathrtic to keep going after the posters who were right all along, rather than blame their inability to do proper DD. These non reporting pinks are impossible to do any kind of proper DD on, but pumpers and hypsters lies will always appeal to many, while non-supporter's posting of obvious red lights will only interfere with the dream of quick easy money.
