I wouldn't know about SEC rules but I thought the IHUB rule was that the icon had to appear in posts about stocks that the person was being compensated for and didn't have to appear in others that they weren't being compensated for.
Seems to be just a wee bit to much sensationalism about all of this hey?
That bit about Lebed was overblown beyond belief, the kid was waaay overboard on the wordage in his postings, and that was ultimately what got him in trouble...was not about disclosure, disclosure was just what cinched the need to reel him in.
Funny thing is Lebed went on to continue in the business, and only got disgorged for a part of his take.
All this jawing over the likliehood or not of paid bashers does not take away the need for the rules to go both ways.
I know you yourself don't put a lot of faith in the idea, well none for that matter, and many others concur. But that is no reason for some folks to be discounting the simple possibilty that the element might actually exist, and certainly needs looking into.
Afterall if the general public is just expected to accept this "sasquatch" WITHOUT reasonable proof to that end, then we should all just stick our heads in the sand and forget all about the possiblity?
lol
I fully understand and have great respect for the hobby DD guy who digs up the bones and the dirt on the scam plays and brings it about for deliberation.
But there's a far less "brilliant" element all over the internet, doing real shoddy DD and propping it up to be the gospel, whilst Screaming SCAM!!!!! ALBEIT UNFOUNDEDLY
THAT element either needs to find a more constructive hobby, is out of their mind, of certainly up to something, only a complete moron would engage in without compensation.
Now I know your probably swimming in laughter at the very idea, and i thought gee what the heck, might as well contribute some verifiable info on one compensated basher, one of many i am sure pollute the airwaves. hehe
I give you AVI BASHER
